PTSD: From Post-traumatic Stress to Post-traumatic Growth is organized by Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) Canada and will be held on Oct 24, 2025.
Description:
Techniques to transform trauma are the topic of our PTSD module, tailored specifically for physicians with ten-minute appointments (and overflowing waiting rooms). The session begins with a streamlined approach to diagnosing PTSD (updated for DSM-5-TR), followed by a discussion of debriefing interventions, including insights from Dr. Dubord's work with the federal government's National Roundtable.
The heart of CBT for PTSD is brief treatments designed for primary care, targeting each of the diagnostic criteria. Special topics include the curious case of EMDR, “emotional baggage”, the eye-opening forgiveness research, so-called "hindsight bias", the Oprah-esque "imaginal re-scripting", intergenerational trauma, the Faustian bargain of children who survived ACEs (adverse childhood experiences), complex PTSD (C-PTSD), trauma-informed care, and what data we have on medical marijuana. The workshop ends with an uplifting topic: the exceedingly hopeful literature on post-traumatic growth.
Accreditation is three-credits-per-hour by the College of Family Physicians of Canada*. The workshop is 3.0 hours in length, for 9.0 Mainpro+ credits.
The Royal College accepts Mainpro+ credits as equivalent (1:1) to MOC credits for Section 1 (i.e., Group Learning). As such, this 3.0 hour, three-credits-per-hour module counts for 9.0 credits in MAINPORT.
CBT Canada's three-credits-per-hour Group Learning Program has been certified by the College of Family Physicians of Canada for up to 369 Mainpro+ credits.
*American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) members are eligible to receive up to 9.0 Prescribed credit hours for attendance at CBT Canada's 3.0 hour (/9.0 Mainpro+ credit) workshops due to a reciprocal agreement with the College of Family Physicians (AAFP, 2016).
