Learning to change: Coming updates to the CFPC Mainpro? program [Apprendre à changer: Mises à jour prochaines au programme Mainpro? du CMFC]

摘要

Continuing education, or continuing professional development (CPD) as we currently refer to it, must evolve as the ways in which we practise and learn evolve. Lifelong learning has always been at the core of what College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) members look for from their College. As far back as 1954, when the College was formed, considerable emphasis was placed on creating an organization with the capacity to engage members in addressing the changing knowledge and skills necessary to provide optimal care to their patients and their communities. Of equal importance was the creation of an organization whose standards for maintaining clinical proficiency were sufficiently rigorous to counter the perception of highly knowledgeable, skilled family physicians being classified as "just GPs."
