At the University of Toronto, we believe that accreditation shouldn’t just be a formality, it should be a pathway to excellence. Accrediting your program is about elevating educational quality and impact and ensuring educational rigor. Grounded in evidence-based adult learning principles, with interactive, learner-focused approaches, CPD accreditation creates the types of programs health professionals need to enhance clinical performance and ultimately improve patient care and public health outcomes.
As a CACME-accredited provider for both the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) and the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) Maintenance of Certification and Mainpro+ credit systems, we will work with you towards ensuring that every CPD program meets the highest standards of educational quality, ethics, and impact.
Through our accreditation and education consultation services, we hope to build partnerships that reflect our joint commitments to quality education.

Organized by a physician organization that takes full responsibility for the program, including its educational content and financial management.

Connect with Your Department’s CPD Leaders
In addition to our central support, Program Directors are encouraged to connect with CPD leaders within their own departments or affiliated hospitals. These individuals can offer valuable guidance, mentorship, and insight based on their experience with continuing education and professional development.
