ABOUT THE COMMITEE

Year Created: 1960

Chair: Dr. Joan Sweet (Toronto, ON)

Purpose:

This Committee is responsible for the planning and administration of the Continuing Education activities of the CAP. The primary focus of this is the annual Workshop Program, held at the start of the Annual Meeting, addressing a variety of topics of interest to the general membership. The Committee also coordinates CME activities in Laboratory Medicine, in conjunction with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada CME Accreditation Program.

The CAP is a fully accredited provider under the Maintenance of Certification program.

In order to give us the opportunity to adequately review your program and make any suggestions for improvement, it would be very helpful if we received your application for credit at least eight weeks in advance of the event and preferably before the final program has been printed.
