As part of a new approach to the education of healthcare providers, the Medical Psychiatry Alliance (MPA) is offering the Medical Psychiatry Collaborative Care Certificate (MP3C), a continuing education program currently being developed to support learning in integrated mental and physical collaborative health care. The program aims to provide education resources for healthcare providers who would like to be better equipped to assess and manage patients with co-existing mental and physical health needs.

As the MP3C and its modules are being developed, the program will be continuing consultations with current and future participants to understand the continuing education gaps and requirements for integrated collaborative care across Ontario. Courses are currently offered free of charge and participants will be able to contribute the development and refinement of offerings.

Who should register?
The MP3C modules are designed for all healthcare providers (i.e. nurses, physicians, social workers, occupational and physical therapists, primary care, etc.), as well as managers and administrators in primary care, hospital, long-term care and community care settings who are working with patients and families to address complex care needs, with a particular focus on co-existing mental and physical needs.
