CME PPP TRAINING
As part of CanREACH education and training services, CanREACH offers a Continued Medical Education (CME) training program licensed and developed by The REACH Institute: “Patient-Centered Mental Health in Paediatric Primary Care (PPP)”, adapted for Canadian Primary Care Providers.
The PATIENT-CENTERED MENTAL HEALTH IN
PAEDIATRIC PRIMARY CARE PROGRAM
Adapted for Canadian Primary Care Providers, consists of:
1. TWO DAY WORKSHOP – a dynamic and interactive 2 day (15 hour) course that uses a combination of intensive face-to-face teachings and hands-on practice
2. SIX MONTHS/THREE MONTHS BI-WEEKLY/WEEKLY CALLS – ongoing case-based program using distance learning methods
Program Cost: $800.00
While this training through REACH costs about $3500 USD per person, CanREACH is able to charge participants $800 to enroll, thanks to the funding we have received which is used to subsidize the cost.
The COVID-19 Pandemic caused CanREACH to pivot from in-person to virtual delivery. Given the success of this, all 2024 sessions will continue to be offered virtually
