Why Revalidation?

Provincial licensing bodies have announced that for renewal of licensure physicians will have to provide satisfactory evidence of participation in continuous professional development (CPD). Mainpro, the College of Family Physicians (CFPC) CPD program is recognized by all licensing authorities as satisfying such requirement. You may join either as a College Member or as a Non-Member Mainpro participant (NMMP). The College of Family Physicians is pleased to offer membership at half price for the first year. Note that the half price fee is close to the annual fee for non-Member Mainpro participants.
