Safety first. All 2021 workshops will be held c/o Zoom. Although everyone misses Normal Life, prudence prescribes us hanging in there a little bit longer. Fortunately, Zoom has plenty of pluses; e.g., fancy polls, fast & easy breakouts, and awesome flexibility in pantwear.
This CME respects your time. These workshops are certified at the very highest level (three-credits-per-hour) by the College of Family Physicians of Canada. Our 3:1 CME saves you much time (and therefore money) over even ostensibly "free" 1:1 CME. You owe yourself at least a quick peek at the relative value calculations.
Workshop overview
With many studies showing CBT on par with drugs, influential practice guidelines (e.g., Cochrane) now promote CBT as a first-line treatment for the anxiety disorders. This highly-practical three-credits-per-hour module works through family practice case studies of GAD, illness anxiety ("hypochondriasis" before DSM-5), OCD, panic disorder, PTSD, and social anxiety. Participants are encouraged to discuss real-life cases, and are shown how to work effective CBT techniques into their standard (e.g., 10min) family practice appointments.

it empties today of its strength.
