UBC Continuing Professional Development (UBC CPD) is an academic unit within the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia. We advance the field of continuing professional development (CPD) through the design, delivery, accreditation, evaluation and research of lifelong learning opportunities for health professionals in British Columbia and beyond. As a learning organization, we believe in the power of education, connection and reflection to support a thriving health-care system in pursuit of healthy communities, social justice and knowledge translation.

Equity and diversity are essential to academic excellence. An open and diverse community fosters the inclusion of voices that have been underrepresented or discouraged. We encourage applications from members of groups that have been marginalized on any grounds enumerated under the B.C. Human Rights Code, including sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, racialization, disability, political belief, religion, marital or family status, age, and/or status as a First Nation, Metis, Inuit or Indigenous person.
