Leveraging CBT Tools to Maximize Physician Resiliency
Next session: Wed, Jun 3, 2026 (12:00PM–3:30PM Eastern)
Earlybird deadline: Fri, May 29, 2026 at 5:00PM Eastern
Workshop overview
Today’s cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a treasure-trove of scientifically‐tested tools to help physicians increase their resiliency and reduce their risk of burnout. Physician wellness is important for countless reasons, including that it significantly determines the quality of care delivered (CMPA, 2018). Simply put, the burned-out doctor is probably a crappy doctor.
Sadly, the burned-out are also at risk for Premature Clinician Aging Disorder (PCAD). PCAD isn't just the result of a heavy caseload and long hours. PCAD is also predicted by one's psychology.
Happily, state‐of‐the‐art CBT includes a collection of powerful techniques for silencing self‐criticism, decreasing rumination, letting go of the past, increasing self-compassion, improving decision‐making, optimizing time management, boosting mindfulness, and making a marriage spark joy.
PCAD is not inevitable: you don’t need to age faster than the required rate (unless you want to).
Please join CBT Canada faculty for the fast-paced & practical SuperDoc workshop. You’ll emerge equipped with versatile CBT tools to boost the functioning and improve the mental health of your patients, your family, your friends—and the ongoing project called “you”.
Note: This is a serious workshop that even saw-wielding orthopods can relate to, with nary a mention of yoni steaming or herbal colonics, and there are absolutely no Zoom group hugs.
Head instructor Greg Dubord, MD is the CME Director of CBT Canada, and the prime developer of medical CBT. He has presented over 500 workshops, including over 50 for the College of Family Physicians of Canada, and is a University of Toronto CME Teacher of the Year.

McGill University's "SuperDoc" (December 2020)
- This should be mandatory in medical school. I would have had less stress, more sleep, less time poverty, and more quality of life. —Roehl Lopez, MD
- Highest recommendations! Taking this earlier would have saved me a great energy drain with dealing with patients with "learned helplessness." —Lydia Derzko, MD
- I am so glad I attended—and I regret not doing this sooner. —Devan Kasavan, MD
- I have seen these advertised for years and always wanted to register. I'm so glad I did it!! I will return. —Danielle Gervais, MD
- Thanks so much, it was such an enjoyable and useful CME. I actually stayed awake and paid attention the whole time! —Jaclyn Dietrich, MD
- Leads to more effective patient care and should be part of any medical school/residency curriculum. —Thomas Mitchell, MD
- I used to think with some chronic complainers, my role had become to listen and be empathic because I couldn't do much more. Oops! Thank you! —Andrée Boivin, MD
- Very well done… I gained valuable knowledge and I look forward to upcoming courses! —Kelsey Cardinal, MD
- I loved the course.... it sped by. Dr Dubord was a blast—this was so much fun and sooooo informative! Would def recommend and would consider the other courses. —Tamara Fitch, MD
- Truly the best CME!! Wish it was mandatory training in medical school! —Anola Kutash, MD
- Keep up the good job and I am hoping to join you every year. —Sandhya Gokhale, MD
- A big thank you. —Hai Phuoc Le, MD
- Un gros merci… Greg's interesting humour has not changed!! —Lise Beaubien, MD
- This is really useful and important information and tools. If I'd had this earlier, I might have been a more concretely helpful physician. —Carol White, MD
- The SuperDoc Workshop has helped this burnt out, jaded physician. Taking my first CBT Canada training was an epiphany. —Janice Wong, MD
- Greg is awesome. His humour is sprinkled in nicely next to his experience which helps make the subject matter both interesting and relevant. I’m certain it will be a huge asset to both me and my patients. —Teisha Legault, MD
- It is my second time taking CBT Canada's workshops, and it is not the last one. It has opened my eyes to life saving techniques to handle both my patients and myself. —Zineb Laribi, MD
- LOVE THIS WORKSHOP! —Kathryn Porter, MD
- The tools are useful not just in our medical practice, but in so many other social & family encounters. Many thanks! —Lily Toma, MD
- I truly believe that burnout for so many physicians can be prevented by providing trainings like this earlier. This provides the "recipe" to move patients forward while providing job satisfaction for the physician, who truly can feel that he/she is helping the patient. Better outcome for patients as well as better outcomes for physicians! —Mariette Steyn, MD
- Excellent! Can't wait to do more… very practical and easy suggestions for shifting conversations. —Megan Miller, MD
- I feel the pendulum has swung so far toward patient "needs" that physicians are getting burnt out trying to live up to those expectations. CBT helps not just take care of our patients but also care of ourselves. It allows us to remember we are human and our time is important for us too. Thank you. —Fauzia Khaliq Kareemi, MD
- Every time I take one of these programs I learn something, have things reinforced and am never disappointed. —Krista Bradley, MD
