ACFP Road Shows
Meeting You Where You're at: In-Person CPD in Your Community
About the Program
CPD for you and planned with you.
Our newest initiative, the ACFP Road Shows, is designed to bring small, in-person CPD opportunities to communities outside our usual urban centres. These sessions will be practical, relevant, and shaped by local primary care needs. With an abundance of virtual CPD available, this program will focus on creating tailored, in-person events that foster high-quality learning and connections among local primary care providers.
We plan to survey the communities we visit in advance – this survey will allow interested parties to select what topics and event times would work best for them. This information, along with a planning committee made up of local family physicians, will guide the development of three unique CPD events across the province.
This program has been certified for up to 1.25 Mainpro+® credits
Next Session:
“Addressing Migration, Integration, and Health Access for Newcomers to Canada”
Presented by:
Dr. Annalee Coakley MD, CCFP, DTM&H
5:30 PM, October 15 | Medicine Hat, AB
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Describe migration in the Canadian context and pre-departure screening of newcomers
- Review post-arrival health assessments and recommended screening for newcomers
- Identify and manage common resettlement issues affecting the health of immigrants and refugees in Canada
- Recognize common mental health concerns, including trauma and PTSD, among newcomers and refugees
Locations
One of the core components of this program is to remove the physical barrier many physicians face when it comes to travel and accessibility of in-person CPD events. We plan to visit the following communities in 2026:
- Lethbridge (April 16)
- Hinton (June 25)
- Bonnyville (September 17)
- Medicine Hat (October 15)
