Accreditation:

The University of British Columbia Division of Continuing Professional Development (UBC CPD) is fully accredited by the Committee on Accreditation of Canadian Medical Schools (CACMS) to provide study credits for continuing medical education for physicians. As well, the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education of the United States (ACCME) maintains a reciprocity relationship with CACMS which the American Medical Association (AMA) recognizes for the purpose of allowing Canadian medical schools the ability to certify activities for AMA PRA Category 1 credits and to award such credits to eligible physicians. This program has been reviewed and approved by the UBC Division of Continuing Professional Development. UBC CPD designates this educational program as meeting the accreditation criteria of the College of Family Physicians of Canada for up to 21.5 MAINPRO M1 credits. This program is an Accredited Group Learning Activity (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. This program also meets the accreditation criteria for a maximum of 21.5 Category 1 credits toward the American Medical Association Physician’s Recognition Award. Each physician should claim only those credits he/she actually spent in the activity.

Pre and Post Conference Workshops (limited enrollment)

CARE: Wednesday & Thursday (June 16-17) The inaugural CARE Course – Comprehensive Approach to Rural Emergencies – a new course produced and sponsored by the Rural Coordination Centre of BC. The course teaches multi-disciplinary emergency care to rural physicians, nurses and paramedics. Medical, trauma and obstetric emergency management are featured. The focus is appropriate to the realities of rural practice and will provide attendees with the skills they need in the Emergency Department. The learning is very “hands on” in a peer based, supportive and collaborative learning environment. An on-line learning resource is being developed and it will include immediate access to critical procedures that a clinician may need to perform on an occasional basis.

ACLS-EP: All day Friday (June 18)

SHOCK Course: 9-5 pm Friday (June 18)

AIME: All day Sunday (June 20)
