The past year has changed the way we do many things, including how we undertake CPD programs. This fall and winter we are offering an expanded slate of the digital programs and conferences we have worked hard to develop since early 2020, but also the return to several in-person programs in a public health-compliant and safe manner.
The updates, programs and conferences offered this fall cover topics from designing and delivering effective CPD to addressing child health care inequities; and range from a narrative-based creative writing workshop to a conference exploring the future of retinal disease treatments.
