12.0 instructional hours

36.0 Mainpro+ credits

This CME respects your time. This workshop is certified at the highest level (three-credits-per-hour) by the College of Family Physicians of Canada. Our 3:1 CME saves you an incredible amount of time (and therefore money) over 1:1 CME. Just have a look at the five-year benefit calculations. 

CBT Canada and the Yukon Medical Association are pleased to present a CBT Tools workshop November 4-5, 2017. The workshop will be held at the Coast High Country Inn. Hours are 9:00AM to 4:30PM, and a continental breakfast (8:30AM to 9:00AM) and mid-morning & mid-afternoon nutrition breaks are included (lunch on own). 

The CME is the acclaimed "triple strength" CBT Tools module (you'll earn 36.0 Mainpro+ credits from just 12.0 workshop hours). Join us and you'll learn a multitude of ultra-brief CBT techniques to make your work much easier with both medical and psychiatric patients (cases).

Lead instructor Greg Dubord, MD is limber like a monkey from giving over 400 CBT workshops, and a recent University of Toronto CME Teacher of the Year. 

Whitehorse's Coast High Country Inn is located at 4051 Fourth Avenue (map). According to the CBC, it's "the world's most popular 3-star hotel". Why? Not only does it have a 40 foot Mountie sculpture in front, but it's where Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton stayed during their September 2016 visit to the Yukon. 

Pithy pearls... my work in the clinic would have been way easier if I'd had this training back in medical school.
