The College of Family Physicians of Canada will be hosting a series of three medical CBT workshops at the 2014 Family Medicine Forum in Québec City. The workshops below can be taken individually (3.0 Mainpro-Cs) or as a series (9.0 Mainpro-Cs). There are no prerequisites.

Thu, Nov 13  | 2:00PM-5:30PM | 3.0 Mainpro-Cs | $395 tuition

YES, "good enough" CBT can be integrated into ten-minute primary care appointments. In this three-hour morning session, Dr. Greg Dubord and CBT Canada faculty teach you the essentials of a skill that may fundamentally change how you deal with mental health issues. The flexible medical CBT tools you'll learn can be very helpful in dealing with major depression, persistent depressive disorder ("dysthymia" until DSM-5), OCD, PTSD, ADD, non-compliance, and much more.

1. Learn to break patients away from their "empathy addictions"

2. Learn to structure ten-minute appointments to maximize impact

3. Learn the vital importance of not working harder than most patients

Fri, Nov 14 | 2:30PM-5:30PM | 3.0 Mainpro-Cs | $395 tuition

It's not easy doing a life. Unfortunately, unskillful responses to common problems of living put our patients at risk for clinically-significant anxiety and depression. In this refreshingly accessible workshop, we review case studies of marital discord, bereavement, poor time management, indecisiveness, insomnia and issues of forgiveness. The emphasis is on ten-minute-or-less techniques for incorporation into routine primary care appointments.

1. Learn to appreciate the role of daily challenges in psychopathology

2. Acquire helpful clinical pearls for overcoming problems of living

3. Decrease the odds of personal burnout

Sat, Nov 15 | 8:30AM-12:00PM | 3.0 Mainpro-Cs | $395 tuition

Let’s be frank: if you’re not careful, some patients will put you at risk for Premature Clinician Aging Disorder (PCAD). Although the world of CBT has no easy answers, there are many pearls that can significantly improve patient outcomes—and make your life a whole lot easier. In this year’s Challenging Patients workshop, we review a plethora of practical ten-minutes-or-less techniques to supplement your existing approaches to hypochondriasis (“illness anxiety disorder” in DSM-5), chronic pain, multiple addictions, borderline personality disorder, and suicidality.

1.  Discover key changes in DSM-5 criteria

2.  Acquire modular tools for helping your “difficult” patients 

3.  Reduce your odds of personal burnout

Greg Dubord, MD is the head instructor for all three workshops. Dr. Dubord has given over 300 CBT workshops—including over 40 Mainpro-Cs for FMF—and is a recent recipient of the CME Teacher of the Year Award from the University of Toronto. Assistant faculty includes senior CBT Canada faculty Peter Duffy, MD, CCFP(EM) and Clement Sun, MD.
