CFP Mainpro+
Mainpro+® (Maintenance of Proficiency) is a College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) program designed to support and promote the continuing professional development (CPD) of family physicians practising in Canada.
Canadian Family Physician (CFP) is a Mainpro+ certified activity. CFPC members may earn certified Mainpro+ credits for performing brief, reflective exercises after reading eligible articles in the journal. To perform a “reflective exercise” means to think about the content of the article and to consider what impact it will have on a practice (or continuing education).
Here’s how it works:
- Each issue of CFP includes articles that are designated as eligible for Mainpro+ certified credits. Look for Mainpro+ Eligible in the CFP Table of Contents in the print edition. Online, eligible articles are listed under “Issue Highlights” in the current issue.
- Read the article or articles, in print or on the CFP website, to claim the related Mainpro+ certified credits.
- Log in to Mainpro+.
- Click “Enter a CPD Activity”.
- Using the filter option, select “Self-Learning” and select “CFP Mainpro+ articles”.
- Select the article you read.
- Click “Continue” to complete the reflective exercise.
- Answer the required questions, enter the date, and click “Submit”.
Rapid Responses
The Rapid Response feature on cfp.ca allows readers to write online responses to articles published in the journal, make comments, or ask questions of the articles’ authors and other readers. When a Rapid Response is submitted, copies automatically go to CFP editors and the article’s corresponding author of the article. Rapid Responses are normally available on the site within one to two working days. Authors and other readers may respond to questions or comments.
