Self-learning is CPD that physicians complete independently by logging into their national College account. Physicians can complete self-learning on almost any topic, at any time. 

Each College has a CPD credit framework that shows what qualifies for different credit types. Self-learning credits differ from formal CPD credits, which require an application to a CACME‑accredited provider such as UBC CPD. 

All physicians, whether or not they are members, must claim CPD credits through either the Royal College or the College of Family Physicians of Canada. Each College maintains secure, physician‑only accounts for credit‑claiming, so detailed instructions on how and which self-learning credits to claim can only be accessed by physicians once logged in to their College account.
