Learning Resources

A variety of learning activities may be used in order to support learning pursuant to the regulated member’s area of practice. Activities that may be considered for learning include but are not limited to reading journals, taking courses and website learning.

This page provides a listing of potential options for learning. It is important to note that the learning resources provided serve as suggestions and may not apply to each member’s practice. A personal learning record must be completed in order to support the learning that has taken place.

The Competence Committee of the College has considered varied learning activities that have been submitted through the Continuing Competence Program (CCP) audit process. The following is a list of learning activities the Competence Committee has deemed to be satisfactory, satisfactory with time restrictions and not satisfactory (please note that this is only a listing of potential options).

Satisfactory learning activities
  • When a member delivers a presentation/lecture, it is recognized that this involves professional learning. In light of this, the member may use the time spent in preparation for this activity and the time spent delivering this presentation/lecture one time, towards the CCP requirements.
Satisfactory learning activities with time restrictions
  • Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) time may be counted for up to four hours per CCP cycle. Any CPR hours that exceed the four hours are not considered to add to the satisfactory learning requirement.

  • College/Association newsletters, and articles contained therein, may be counted for up to no more than one hour of learning collectively, per issue, towards a CCP cycle.

  • N95 mask fitting may be used for a maximum of 15 minutes per CCP cycle.
Unsatisfactory learning activities
  • A learning activity submitted without adequate self-reflection is not considered satisfactory learning.
  • Time spent completing ACMDTT CCP documentation is not considered satisfactory learning.
  • Learning for personal improvement (i.e., yoga, wellness activities), not related to professional improvement, is not considered a satisfactory learning activity.
  • Time spent learning shift management software, expense tracking or payroll education is not considered satisfactory learning.
  • Online video learning will not be considered satisfactory learning unless supported with appropriate citation and appropriate self-reflection.
  • Staff/Committee meetings, without adequate self-reflection for each individual meeting, are not considered satisfactory learning.
  • Meetings restricted to the content of contract negotiations/pension plans are not considered satisfactory learning.
  • Personal financial planning activities and union meetings are not considered satisfactory learning.
  • Research completed on peer-edited websites (i.e., Wikipedia or derivatives) is not considered satisfactory learning.
  • Time spent completing an examination is not considered satisfactory learning.
