The Clinician Teacher Certificate (CTC) is a flexible program involving a combination of e-learning courses and in-person workshops, to be completed at your own pace within a two-year timeframe. The CTC offers tailored training opportunities for preceptors and faculty who want to expand their teaching practices and effectiveness in clinical settings.

Attendees of the Educational Sessions can take part in the CTC Workshops without needing to register for the CTC program. Participants are welcome to register for the CTC program to receive the credits from the two Workshops attended.
