Education and Accreditation
Accreditation of CME Programs
The Canadian Thoracic Society is an accredited continuing professional development (CPD) provider under the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada’s Maintenance of Certification program. As such, the CTS is qualified to accredit CPD programs as Section 1 Group Learning Activities.
Application for Accreditation - Provincial Thoracic Societies:
Consult the summary of requirements, fill in and submit your application form along with the society accreditation fee of $375 at least 8 weeks before your CPD program takes place. The fee includes a non-refundable deposit of $125.
Application for Accreditation - Other Physician and Non-physician Organizations:
Consult the CTS’ Co-Development Policy and contact the CTS at the very beginning of the program development process to request co-development of your program with the CTS.
The CTS no longer accredits programs developed independently by organizations other than provincial thoracic societies. For information on other accrediting bodies to which you may submit your application, consult the Royal College of Physicians’ and Surgeons of Canada's Web site.
