How Residency PBLP Works
Residency PBLP brings residents together in interactive small groups of 4–10 participants, led by trained faculty members and/or residents who serve as facilitators.
Sessions are designed to encourage active participation and include:
- Case-based discussions using evidence-based PBLP modules
- Small-group learning that encourages residents to share experiences and perspectives
- Group Practice Reflection Tools (PRTs) that help residents reflect on their learning and how it may apply to their practice

Supporting Your Residency Curriculum
FMPE works with postgraduate residency programs to determine how Practice-Based Learning can best fit within their existing curriculum.
The goal extends beyond residency. By developing the skills of peer learning, practice reflection, and self-directed continuing medical education (CME) during training, residents are better prepared to continue learning throughout their professional careers.
Continuing PBLP After Residency
Your PBLP experience doesn’t have to end when residency does.
New graduates who join PBLP within their first five years of practice receive a 50% discount on membership.
As a PBLP member, you can continue learning through the same evidence-based, practice-focused approach you experienced during residency while earning CFPC Mainpro+ credits and Assessment Credits toward your continuing professional development requirements.
Continue the learning habits you developed during residency—and carry them with you into practice.
Your Voice in Residency PBLP
Our Resident Advisory Committee gives residents a direct voice in how Residency PBLP evolves, with representatives from universities providing feedback and ideas directly to FMPE.
Since its formation, the committee has helped shape key areas of the program, including:
- Messaging and communications for residents
- The online interactive learning tool and how residents use it
- The pilot of CME credits for residents who complete individual Personal Practice Reflection Tools
The committee helps ensure that Residency PBLP continues to reflect the needs and experiences of the residents who use it.
