CME

The SOGC currently offers five regional CME programs (the West/Central CME, Ontario GYN CME, Quebec CME, Quebec CME in OBS and Ontario CME ) plus one International CME program (location varies each year). These meetings attract specialists of national and international reputation and provide SOGC members with a forum for the exchange of ideas, information, and views on all aspects of the specialty of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.

Each CME program is approximately two to three days in duration. The International CME differs slightly as it is a week long conference. For each CME, the format is complete with interactive plenaries, breakout sessions featuring case discussions on current topics and concurrent sessions on colposcopy, advanced gynaecology surgery, obstetrics and office practice gynaecology.

The scientific program is held mainly each morning, leaving the afternoon free for leisure activities. It is an ideal opportunity to meet with Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and affiliated professionals while continuing to pursue professional development. MOC© credits are assigned for these programs. MAINPRO© credits for family physicians are usually assigned as well.
