Black Physicians of Canada Conference

We have been working with the University of Toronto Continuing Professional Development in the Faculty of Medicine to get this conference accredited. Credit details and information will be available in the near future! As we work through the accreditation process, it is likely that the conference will be available virtually, however, you will not be able to receive CME credit for virtual attendance. Once the details of accreditation have been finalized we will provide more information regarding virtual attendance and registration fees.

The Black Physicians of Canada annual awards celebrate Black changemakers from across the country for their significant contributions to health, health care and the medical profession. Providing public recognition of exceptional achievement and service within BPC is an important activity of the organization. The BPC confers awards annually to honour individual luminaries that have demonstrated exemplary leadership. In addition, we recognize individuals whose efforts significantly benefit health and medicine in the Black community. There are 9 awards that you can submit a nomination towards.
