Last year, the Board approved a major redesign of our Continuing Professional Development (CPD) rebate available to all fully licensed physicians, offering a new Claim-As-You-Learn approach similar to a health spending account. 

I’m happy to report that your 2025 rebate bank is now available. This means you can start claiming expenses related to your CPD this year anytime now, as part of our new easier claims process with faster reimbursement. 

The new Claim-As-You-Learn CPD Rebate simplifies the rules and eliminates the wait. This means an easier way to claim expenses, faster payments, and likely bigger rebates too. It’s like a health spending account, for your continuing professional development. 

Every eligible physician starts with a $4,000 bank for CPD expenses, and that’s on top of the $1,000 CPD Credit Rebate you received when you renewed your annual Doctors Manitoba membership. Some physicians are eligible for an additional supplement, such as rural or northern physicians who must travel further for events or salaried physicians under certain collective agreements.

Reminder, you have until June 30, 2025 to claim your 2024 expenses.

Here’s how it works.

• Log in to our DRMB Portal to access Claim-As-You-Learn
• View your current CPD bank
• Submit CPD events, such as a conference or workshop, plus associated travel, accommodations, and overhead expenses.
• Submit other CPD expenses, such as subscriptions, publishing journal articles, learning equipment, and more.

You will find shorter claim forms with simpler rules and no need to upload receipts or certificates (but keep them in case of audit).
