Practice Improvement and CME Resources
The NSPAR program encourages physicians to use their NSPAR review results when choosing professional development and continuing medical education activities.
A significant number of physicians feel their NSPAR report has provided useful information and many have made or plan to make practice changes based on the report.
This section provides information and links to a variety of sources for practice improvement, CME and continuing professional development.
The College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada agree that peer assessment programs such as NSPAR are an important aspect of continuing professional development. Family physicians can earn MAINPRO-C credits from the CFPC, while surgeons and medical specialists are eligible for credits in the Maintenance of Certification Program of the RCPSC upon completion of the NSPAR review process.
