CME Accreditation
The TOPHC Program Committee is pleased to announce that as per TOPHC 2011, an application has been put forward so that TOPHC 2012 sessions may qualify for Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits with both the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons and the College of Family Medicine of Canada, as determined by the University of Toronto’s Centre for Continuing Professional Development.
If you wish to receive CME credits for your attendance at the convention, you will need to do three things:
1. Keep track of the sessions you attend
2. Complete the paper-based workshop evaluation provided at each session, and
3. Complete the online TOPHC evaluation form at the end of the convention.
After the convention, all registered attendees will receive an email asking them to evaluate the event by completing an attached evaluation form. If you wish to obtain CME credits, you must complete this evaluation. If you do not receive the email evaluation within two weeks of the convention’s end, please contact Ian Johnson at
ian.johnson@oahpp.ca.
The online evaluation will ask if you would like to obtain CME credits. If you answer “yes,” you will be asked for your name and email address, and will be asked to indicate which sessions you attended. We will tally these sessions and send you a letter by email indicating the number of study credit hours you will receive.
