The BC Physician Integration Program (BC-PIP) is pleased to provide supervising physicians of provisionally licensed IMGs with accredited and free webinars addressing IMG supervision 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 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 in length and are accredited for up to 1.0 Mainpro-M1 / MOC Section 1/AMA PRA Category 1 Credits^TM.

NOTE: The following webinars are designed for physicians who supervise IMGs with a provisional license to practice in BC.

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.
