BPAO CARDIOVASCULAR CPD – CARING FOR ALL HEARTS: CARDIOVASCULAR RISK ASSESSMENT
January 17, 2026

This program examines recent advancements in cardiovascular risk assessment, with a focus on biomarker testing, specifically lipoprotein(a), NT-proBNP, and hs-cTnT, to improve the early detection and management of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and heart failure (HF). With strong relevance for both family physicians and specialists, the content emphasizes racial equity and the clinical importance of routine biomarker measurement, particularly for Black and marginalized populations who face disproportionate cardiovascular risk.

From Page to Publication: A Writing Workshop for Health Professionals

As health professionals, many of us carry stories that yearn to be told: stories that reflect the complexity of our work, the humanity of our patients, and the evolution of our own identities.

Structured around peer feedback, guided writing exercises, and practical editorial insight, this workshop supports participants in refining their craft while negotiating the ethical and emotional terrain of writing from clinical experience. Built around the journey of a single piece of writing by participants, the first session focuses on writing and revision, exploring themes central to narrative-based medicine and the art of authentic storytelling. The second session shifts to editing and publishing, offering concrete strategies for submitting to journals, contests, and self-publishing with step-by-step advice on navigating the editorial process — including a Q&A with a guest editor.

Whether you’re new to creative writing or already have some experience, join us to deepen your practice, connect with a community of clinician-writers, and take the next step in your storytelling journey.

Beyond the Prescription: Single and Dual GLP-1/GIP Receptor Agonists, Nutrition and Health
January 30, 2026

The use of incretin-based therapies—particularly glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonists—has surged in recent years, revolutionizing the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. These medications, originally developed to support blood glucose regulation, have demonstrated significant effects on appetite control, weight loss, and cardiometabolic health. As their use expands to broader populations, healthcare professionals are increasingly faced with new challenges related to nutritional adequacy, lean mass preservation, long-term weight management, and equitable access to care.

Join us for an engaging and timely one-day conference focused on the intersection of incretin mimetics and nutrition. This event will explore the physiological and nutritional impacts of GLP1 and GIP therapies, including the risk of muscle loss, weight rebound after discontinuation, and strategies to support diet quality and long-term behaviour change. We will also examine the broader health benefits of these medications—such as cardiovascular and renal protection—and address the ethical and practical considerations of ensuring access and patient-centered care. Featuring leading experts, clinicians, and lived experience perspectives, this conference offers a comprehensive look at the evolving role of nutrition in supporting individuals using these transformative therapies.
