Continuing Professional Development

Lifelong learning and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) are fundamental components of a physician’s commitment to practise medicine competently and ethically.

We require all Ontario physicians to participate in a CPD program that meets requirements set by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) or the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC). You must also track your credits with a recognized organization.

Approved CPD Tracking Organizations

It is a regulatory requirement for all registrants (formerly members) of the College to report their continuing professional development (CPD) activities to one of the three approved CPD tracking bodies:

Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Program)
College of Family Physicians of Canada (Maintenance of Proficiency+ (Mainpro+))
Medical Psychotherapy Association of Canada (formerly known as the General Practice Psychotherapy Association)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The following FAQs address commonly asked questions, including exceptional circumstances where the College has determined compliance with CPD tracking may not be feasible.
