Read about our team dedicated to enhancing Indigenous patient led CPD.

Everyone who provides health care for Indigenous patients must understand the impacts of trauma and the options for building relationships with people who live with individual and intergenerational trauma.

This December, we announce several exciting events to take place in the new year. Discover more this month through our learning activities about new challenges and best practices for managing syphilis and other STIs and rounds dedicated to managing young febrile infants in the rural setting. UBC CPD welcomes a new member to our administrative team and congratulates the recipients of the 2023 Faculty of Medicine awards. Don’t miss the new guidelines for our Provincial Opioid Addiction Treatment Support Program and our final call to apply for UBC CPD Resident Grant applications.

We are an Elder-led group that includes both Indigenous and non-Indigenous members working together to increase Cultural Safety and Humility in rural BC by building relationships with and between Indigenous communities and physician groups.

We welcome 2024 with opportunities to connect and create together. A new season of learning is ushered in with education on enhanced technology and treatments for pediatric diabetes, updated learning on postpartum care and brand-new tools to support early diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy. We mark the twentieth year of the virtual Hot Topics in Cardiology conference and share a brand-new interactive resource on clinical tools to provide care to children and youth experiencing substance use. This month, we’re joined by a visiting professor and a new member of the Conference team. Happy New Year!

This February, UBC CPD celebrates resident doctors’ dedication to enhance health care throughout the province. In recognition of Resident Doctor Appreciation Week, we are pleased to announce three recipients of the Educational Research Grants for Residents, share a brand-new coaching portal for physician residents to create their own coaching program, and encourage residents to take part in CPD learning opportunities and foster connections with peers. We’re excited to share that the Vancouver Division of Family Practice (VDoFP) has launched in-person workshops on the best practices in team-based care. Our popular Spring Dermatology Review Virtual Series will address original topics in primary care practice, including new dermatologic therapies. We also offer a new approach to asthma and COPD therapy in the latest This Changed my Practice article. UBC CPD also welcomes two new team members and recruits a Research Associate.
