Cowichan Continuing Professional Development (CCPD) Commitee
Chair/RCME Lead: Dr. Martin Lipinski
Members: Dr. Kyle Phipps, Dr. Joachim Fuchs, Dr. Leon Van Der Watt and Dr. Teresa Elliott
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: [email protected]), who will forward to the Cowichan CPD Committee members for review.
