NATIONAL WINNER
College of Family Physicians of Canada
Continuing Professional Development Program Award
The College of Family Physicians of Canada sponsors the national Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Program Award.
The CFPC Mainpro-accredited CPD program must be shown to have provided an “exceptional learning experience” as measured by program evaluations completed by participating CFPC members. The program must go “above and beyond” in terms of contributions to the field of family medicine.
The CFPC’s National Committee on Continuing Professional Development (NCCPD) reviews and ranks eligible programs. The award is issued by the CFPC’s National Honours & Awards Committee.
The inaugural recipient (2010) was the UBC Faculty of Medicine's Division of Continuing Professional Development, competing against a field of over fifty nominees. The most recent recipient was McMaster University’s Foundation for Medical Practice Education for their internationally-recognized Practice Based Small Group learning system.
CBT Canada is honoured to have received the CPD Program Award for 2013 for the Certificate in Medical CBT (CMCBT) Program.
In his speech at the national award ceremony in Ottawa on October 7 (video), Dr. Jamie Meuser, CFPC CPD Director said, "one of the important things to point out is that this is a major award in our College."
He went on to introduce the CBT Canada teaching team:
The Medical CBT Training Program... organized and presented by Dr. Greg Dubord and his colleagues at CBT Canada... has been a consistent source of high quality education for CFPC members for many years… and the source of very consistent high quality feedback.
These learning opportunities provide practical hands-on training [in a] very important skills area for family practice, for which many of us feel poorly prepared coming out of training… Members went out of their way to express the value [the workshops] added to their practice.
