Continuing Medical Education

You want to stay at the forefront of current medical knowledge. Continuing medical education (CME) and professional development are both important to maintain competence, increase knowledge and skills, and enhance patient care.

In Ontario, you’ll find a wide range of CME and professional development programs offered through universities, hospitals, associations, and provincial and national colleges. Some of these include:

• Ontario Medical Association (programs for rural and isolated physicians)
• Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada
• College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario 
• Ontario College of Family Physicians
• College of Family Physicians of Canada

As physicians are extremely busy practitioners, CME programs are delivered through a variety of convenient formats, making them easier to fit into a tight schedule. Teleconferencing courses and conferences, online courses, lectures and self-directed options are all available.
