Medical CBT
Medical CBT is the adaptation of orthodox cognitive behavior therapy for primary care, developed by Greg Dubord, MD, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto. Medical CBT emphasizes ten-minute techniques useful in normal family medicine visits.
ACCREDITATION
All CBT Canada workshops are three-credits-per-hour (3:1) certified by the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) for Mainpro+ group learning credits. In other words, three credits are awarded for every one instructional hour. The majority of modules are 3.0 instructional hours, corresponding to 9.0 Mainpro+ credits. As the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) accepts Mainpro+ credits as equivalent (1:1) to MOC credits for Section 1 (i.e., Group Learning), three-hour, three-credits-per-hour modules count for 9.0 credits in MAINPORT.
American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) members are eligible to receive up to 9.0 Prescribed credit hours for attendance at CBT Canada’s 3.0 hour (/9.0 Mainpro+ credit) workshops due to a reciprocal agreement with the College of Family Physicians of Canada (AAFP, 2016).

NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Today's medical CBT curriculum is the product of over two decades of small group dialogues with thousands of Canadian family physicians.
Medical CBT developer Greg Dubord, MD has given over 500 CBT workshops, to physicians working in almost every conceivable practice environment in communities all across Canada.
For CBT Canada, each module serves as a "focus group" to deepen understanding of the unique CBT learning needs of family physicians. In addition, analyses of tens of thousands of pre- and post-workshop questionnaires have led to regular workshop refinements.
All medical CBT modules are evolving constantly in both process and content to meet the changing needs of Canada's doctors.
