For many adults in BC, timely access and support for ADHD remains limited. Long psychiatric waitlists and limited diagnostic and management tools in primary care leave many patients navigating symptoms without timely support.
“We frequently read "more on ADHD!” from learners in our feedback forms. We are excited to launch this unique program to help address a learning gap in our province,” says Lindsay Callan, Conference Director.
Recognizing the critical role health professionals play to support adults seeking help, we have developed a comprehensive program—the Adult ADHD: a UBC CPD Learning Journey— to equip providers with practical skills to confidently diagnose, treat and manage uncomplicated adult ADHD in practice.
A three-part, multi-modal learning experience
This brand-new program brings together three learning formats into one educational experience, including:
- a pre-course bonus podcast on Jan. 30: ADHD Across Life Transitions: Practical Approaches for Primary Care, hosted by Dr. Chris Morrow with speaker Dr. Elisabeth Baerg Hall
- a virtual conference on March 7: focused on evidence-informed adult ADHD care
- three online modules in Spring 2026: to reinforce key conference concepts and demonstrate how to apply the New Pathways BC Tool in practice
Our brand-new accredited podcast, CPD In Practice, bridges the gap between groundbreaking developments in clinical medicine and practice-ready solutions for health professionals to adopt.
Explore the first season to date and stay tuned for the pre-course bonus podcast later this month.
Learners will have the opportunity to gain practical diagnostic steps and treatment pathways, and practice a brand-new Pathways Tool in real time—all included in one conference registration.
“We know this is a challenging topic in primary care offices across BC— we’re excited to offer a multi‑modal program that uses the strengths of different formats to support how people learn. By drawing on our team’s instructional design expertise, we’ve created a unique experience that brings these elements together in an intentional way,” says Kate Campbell, Senior Manager, Creative Learning.
Advancing clinical support
The Pathways ADHD Tool was developed in long-term collaboration with the North Shore Division of Family Practice, accessible to health professionals in BC. Learners will have an opportunity to access and practice using the tool live during the conference.
| While BC and Yukon users will have enhanced functionality within the pathway, the information will be visible for all. If you don’t practice in BC, the Pathways public sites can be accessed from anywhere in the world. |
“Health professionals of different backgrounds in BC can find access to long-lasting Pathways tools and resources at no cost. We aim to bridge the comfort zone to practice care for adult ADHD,” says Callan.
