Modules
Medical CBT workshops are modular and need not be taken in any particular order. Each of the following is accredited for at least 6.0 Mainpro-C credits:
Accreditation
All medical CBT workshops meet the accreditation criteria of the College of Family Physicians of Canada and are accredited for up to 18.0 Mainpro-C credits (varies by location). All workshops also qualify as an Accredited Group Learning Activity as defined by the Maintenance of Certification program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada for up to 18.0 Section 1 credits (again, varies by location).
Needs assessment
Today's medical CBT curriculum is the product of over a decade of small group dialogues with thousands of Canadian family physicians.
Medical CBT developer Greg Dubord, MD has given over 250 CBT workshops, including over 100 Mainpro-Cs. He has taught medical CBT to
physicians working in almost every conceivable practice environment in communities all across Canada.
For CBT Canada, each six-hour workshop serves as a "focus group" to deepen understanding of the unique CBT learning needs of family physicians. In addition, analyses of
thousands of Mainpro-C pre- and post-workshop questionnaires have lead 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.
Curriculum advisers
CBT Canada is very grateful for the contributions of its panel of curriculum advisors. These physicians work in diverse settings—rural & urban, community & academic—and are all dedicated to the promotion of national standards for medical CBT practice and education.
Pedagogy
Medical CBT workshops provide a balance of didactics, case-based discussion periods, and role-play demonstrations. Workshops consist of a minimum of 25% interactive learning. Note: Slight deviations in content are possible with different speakers.
Note to psychotherapists
All medical CBT workshops are designed for family physicians, nurse practitioners and allied professionals providing brief appointments (e.g., 5-15 minutes) in medical environments. Although the workshops may also be useful for full-time psychotherapists (e.g., psychiatrists, psychologists, and GP psychotherapists), they are not designed with them in mind.
If over 50% of your practice is devoted to psychotherapy and you live in the Greater Toronto Area, you may be interested in Dr. Dubord's orthodox CBT training sponsored by
