Dr. Chris Morrow has been appointed as Associate Dean at UBC Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
As a champion and voice for CPD, Dr. Morrow has held the role of Executive Medical Director since September 2024. In this role, he strengthened collaborative relationships with academic, clinical and regulatory partners within B.C. and across Canada.
“It is remarkable to see CPD offerings have an impact across the health-care continuum. This important work results in improved health care for patients while also supporting clinicians in so many ways,” says Dr. Morrow.
He has played a key role in a wide range of projects that span Indigenous-specific anti-racism and cultural safety, to team-based primary care—while contributing to the establishment of new initiatives like the Nurse Practitioner CPD program.
Dr. Morrow is the host of our brand-new, accredited podcast, CPD In Practice, where he navigates conversations with Canada's top medical experts on topics like Generative AI in Medicine, Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Care and more.

“I am excited to work with the incredible UBC CPD team and our partner organizations in innovative ways to advance lifelong learning for clinicians across the province, country and beyond. We will continue to seek ways to improve equitable access across geographic and social barriers to provide excellent education and practice support for clinicians and ultimately, our patients,” says Dr. Morrow.
