Maintaining your certification is an integral part of the credential process and demonstrates your commitment to lifelong learning to your organization, peers and the health care community. Your CCPE credential is valid for five years. You will officially be notified of the expiration date about nine months prior to the annual recertification date of July 1. If at that time you decide not to renew your CCPE, please notify the CCPE Secretariat. Download 2021 Recertification application form

 

To renew your certification at the end of five years, you must:

 

1. Maintain good standing with applicable provincial/territorial/applicable licensing bodies

2. Maintain membership with CSPL

3. Participate in ongoing professional leadership development and education

• Proof of a minimum 40 CPD leadership credits earned in the past 5 years, including attendance at a minimum one Canadian Conference on Physician Leadership. Unaccredited activities that support your leadership growth will be considered.

4. Continue to accumulate leadership accomplishments

• Provide information on recertification application demonstrating that leadership capabilities continue to be met at the mastery level in the LEADS domains of “Developing coalitions” and “Systems transformation”.

5. Provide letter of attestation

• Signed attestation is submitted by an individual (confidentially and independently) to whom the physician is accountable that verifies the CCPE’s self-reflection statement on personal leadership capabilities.

6. Pay recertification application fee

• $250 plus applicable taxes (on or before July 1) in year due; this administrative fee offsets review of your recertification application by a physician peer assessment panel.

The recertification process

 

The CCPE Recertification Peer Assessment Panel will review your submission and determine whether or not the requirements for recertification have been met. You will be notified in writing of the outcome of the recertification application review.

 

If recertification application is approved you will receive a certificate that updates the designation for an additional five years.
