The CPD Program is authorized by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RC) to assign “Maintenance of Certification” Section 1 and Section 3 credits for all continuing education for Specialist Physicians that meet its standards. We can also approve “Mainpro+” credits on behalf of the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC), but only for those programs in which we work as close educational partners
Royal College
The application must represent a physician organization, defined by the RC as “a not-for-profit group of health professionals with a formal governance structure, accountable to and serving, among others, its specialist physician members through continuing professional development, provision of health care and/or research.”
Applications are due six weeks prior to the event, and an accreditation fee is charged.
College of Family Physicians of Canada
Mainpro+ one credit per hour event certification may be granted by CPD Medicine, only for programs in which approved CPD Medicine faculty are substantially involved in ALL stages of planning the event. Other programs need to be accredited for family physicians by the Manitoba College of Family Physicians. If you would like to partner with us in this way, please contact our office, before starting your program planning. We are pleased to partner on events that meet our strategic goals.
