FAQs > Suitability
What psychology background is required? There are no prerequisites for any of CBT Canada’s modules (with the sole exception of Tools Practice). In fact, a background of some aversion to psychology is no barrier. We pride ourselves in making CBT interesting—both professionally and personally.
Are specialist physicians welcome? Absolutely—and most seem to love it. Research has shown that even surgeons (and their patients) have emotions. Therefore, even saw-wielding orthopods are welcome (chaperoning is complimentary).
Are psychotherapists welcome? Medical CBT is designed for clinicians with short appointments. Conventional psychotherapists with hour-long appointments are strongly encouraged to consider orthodox CBT training.
Is medical CBT appropriate for non-MDs? All evidence-based healthcare practitioners are welcome, including MSWs, NPs, OTs, PTs, and RNs. Sorry, workshops are not open to the general public.
