This individual CME Rebate Program is available to physicians who generate income within a given calendar year, including both fee-for-service and other forms of remuneration from the provincial government. Residents who hold a full license to practice may be eligible for a CME rebate if they also “moonlight” to earn fee-for-service income and incur CME expenses not related to completion of their Residency program.
Benefits
CME Rebates
Physicians are continually upgrading their knowledge, and Doctors Manitoba helps make that possible. Our CME Rebate program, established through negotiations with Manitoba Health, provides physicians with reimbursement for Continuing Medical Education expenses.
Applications will open in April for CME expenses for the 2021 calendar year.
For the 2022 calendar year, we have made some changes recognizing how continuing medical education may be impacted by the pandemic and transformed into the future. Here are some important things to note as you plan your CME for 2022:
- You will be able to claim up to $3,800 in eligible CME-related expenses
- We will consider expenses that were deemed ineligible in past years under a trial for 2022. This means any expenses you incur primarily to support your continuing medical education could be eligible. this will help us to identify new types of expenses physicians are incurring to support their continuing medical education.
- We are introducing a group CME initiative for grants up to $20,000. Any physician who plans a CME event for a group of Manitoba physicians will be able to apply for funding. This initiative is separate from individual CME rebates, and details will be posted when available.
