Elevate your impact: committee opportunity with CPSA

Are you an experienced physician with an interest in competence and continuous professional development?

If so, consider an active role in profession-led governance by joining a CPSA committee. Our Competence Committee is currently seeking new members.

As a committee member, you will provide direction and guidance on the development, implementation and evaluation of these programs. This is a compensated role, and serving on this committee provides an opportunity to liaise closely with other physician, colleagues, including the Assistant Registrar of Continuing Competence, as well as CPSA team members.

Qualifications:

Compensation:
