Well, there are mandatory programs and you get certain points for going to certain CMEs, so you have to apply for this. It's important to know that if you don't attend a certain number of CMEs, you don't get your professional points. I've not heard of anything very bad that happens if you don't get these points, but they certainly are important.
Through the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada, obstetrics and gynecology has all kinds of guidelines for everything. There are guidelines for endometriosis, which need to be updated, and we need to then have those, as I said, as a basis for our national action plan, because everything is in that with a review of the literature. The physician is out there and he, she, or they must attend certain numbers of CMEs, and they can do it virtually now. That's one thing we're thankful for that happened with COVID, that we learned how to do this. It was not terribly easy, but we did it.
The CME is excellent now, but in order to attain the CME, our doctors have to be paid for what they do. They don't have enough money sometimes to do all of this, especially the family physicians who are out there struggling with too many patients and too much of a load. Of course, now there's the rule in Ontario of one problem per visit, so if you have two problems, then you have to make another appointment, and this is such a silly thing. There are many areas that are working now, but we have to act on those.
