5 Weekend MSK Medicine Certificate Program at UBC

I wanted to pass on some information regarding 5 Weekend Musculoskeletal Medicine Certificate program that is being offered for the first time at the University of British Columbia commencing in September 2007.

For more details regarding course objectives, curriculum, dates and registration please go to the following link: www.effectivepractice.org.

• This program meets the accreditation criteria of The College of Family Physicians of Canada and has been accredited for 25.0 Mainpro-C credits and 60.0 Mainpro-M1 credits.
  
• Speakers include expert faculty such as sport medicine physicians, psychiatrista, orthopaedic surgeons, physiotherapist and pediatricians from the University of British Columbia and the University of Toronto.
  
• Unlike other courses, workshops and conferences, the program provides the participant with small interactive group learning, including hands-on experience.
  
• The program was the recipient of the ‘Excellence in Continuing Education Award’, Professional Development Programs 2005-2006, University of Toronto. It is also a nominee for the Colin R. Woolf Award for ‘Excellence in Course Coordination’ for 2007.
  
• The cost for the course is $2,950. This is over a 20% savings if participants were to take weekends individually ($750 per weekend). Please note we strongly recommend that participants take all five weekends to build their knowledge and skill level.
  
• We offer a 10% discount for residents (2 spaces per program are available).
  
• We are happy to offer suggestions regarding options to apply for funding to offset program tuition fees.

Please note that registration is limited to 30 participants and only 5 seats remain in the University of British Columbia program.
