Abstract

The 18th CBT Whistler will be held at the fantastico ski-in ski-out Fairmont Chateau Whistler from Monday, March 16 to Wednesday, March 18, 2020. We go in mid-March because it-s the absolute prime of the entire year-s ski season, corresponding to the historical records for Whistler-s best base depths (e.g., 260cm on March 15, 2019). Workshop hours are 7:00AM–9:00AM and 4:00PM–6:00PM, leaving you seven (7) daylight hours per workshop day to tire yourself out exploring Whistler & Blackcomb-s vast terrain (although a ~9:30AM start to the ski day doesn-t allow for the freshest tracks, it-s pleasant in that the morning lift lines have largely dissipated by then). The 12.0 hour workshop is the acclaimed "triple strength" CBT for Depression module, accredited for 36.0 Mainpro+ credits* by the College of Family Physicians of Canada. Please join us in wonderful Whistler and you-ll gain a plethora of ultra-brief techniques to help your patients defeat depression and be happy. General interest topics covered include procrastination, perfectionism, rumination, self-criticism, self-handicapping, letting go of the past, decision-making, and evidence-based marital enrichment. The head instructor is Greg Dubord, MD, amply broken-in after giving over 500 CBT workshops, and a University of Toronto CME Teacher of the Year. *American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) members are eligible to receive up to 36.0 Prescribed credit hours for attendance at CBT Canada’s 12.0 hour (/36.0 Mainpro+ credit) workshops due to a reciprocal agreement with the College of Family Physicians (AAFP, 2016).
