Canadian Association of General Surgeons and

Accreditation of Specialist Programming

As an accredited provider, the Canadian Association of General Surgeons (CAGS) can either approve or educationally co-sponsor specialist CME programming for other organizations for section 1 credit in the Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. 

The MOC program has specific expectations of providers with respect to planning Section 1 activities. While specialists self-report their CPD activity annually, they are subject to audit by the College. This Validation program requires that attendance and evaluation records be maintained by the accrediting organization.
