Cowichan Continuing Professional Development (CCPD) Commitee

Chair: Dr. Glenn Robinson
Members: Dr. Martin Lipinski, Dr. Sheila Rodger, Dr. Kyle Phipps, Dr. Joachim Fuchs, and Dr. Leon Van Der Watt

Cowichan Continuing Professional Development (CCPD) Committee:

In July 2019, the JSC approved the Community RCME Program, resulting in physician-driven innovation in Community RCME. A few months later, our Cowichan Continuing Professional Development (CCPD) Committee formed so that decision making for the use of RCME funds will be done by our local physicians instead of the past process with Island Health. The application form (with funding criteria) is attached.
A request for RCME funds must first come to Paula Dunford, Community RCME Coordinator (email: ccpdpaulad@gmail.com), who will forward to the Cowichan CPD Committee members for review.
