BC-PIP Webinar Series

On the second Tuesday of selected months, the BC Physician Integration Program (BC-PIP) is pleased to provide provisionally licensed IMGs with accredited and free webinars addressing practice related needs.

The benefits of a live webinar include: real-time interactivity, Q & A with an expert, and the convenience of participating in up-to-date CME from the comfort of your own home or office through your computer. Keeping pace with the presentation is easy because video, audio and visual aides are synchronized in real time.

Sessions are usually 1 hour and are accredited for up to 1.0 Mainpro-M1 / MOC Section 1/AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM.

Accreditation

In order to obtain CME Mainpro-M1 / MOC Section 1 / AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM for this event, you must complete both the online attendance and evaluation form immediately following the live presentation. We cannot provide study credits to participants who did not submit a completed online attendance and evaluation form with a valid email address. Please allow 4 weeks after the webinar to receive your credits.  To receive your AMA/PRA Category 1 Study Credits Certificate please contact us prior to the webinar.

The University of British Columbia Division of Continuing Professional Development (UBC CPD) is fully accredited by the Committee on Accreditation of Continuing Medical Education (CACME) to provide study credits for continuing medical education for physicians. As well, the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education of the United States (ACCME) maintains a reciprocity relationship with CACME which the American Medical Association (AMA) recognizes for the purpose of allowing Canadian medical schools the ability to certify activities for AMA PRA Category 1 credits and to award such credits to eligible physicians. This program has been reviewed and approved by the UBC Division of Continuing Professional Development. UBC CPD designates this educational program as meeting the accreditation criteria of the College of Family Physicians of Canada for up to 1.0 MAINPRO M1 credits. This program is an Accredited Group Learning Activity eligible for up to 1.0 Section 1 credits as defined by the Maintenance of Certification program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. This program also meets the accreditation criteria for a maximum of 1.0 Category 1 credits toward the American Medical Association Physician’s Recognition Award. Each physician should claim only those credits he/she actually spent in the activity.
