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.
