The Rural Continuing Medical Education (RCME) Individual program provides funding directly to physicians to support opportunities for physicians to participate in medical education to update and enhance medical skills and credentials required for rural practice.
These benefits are provided in addition to the CME entitlement provided for in the Benefits Subsidiary Agreement between the BC Government and the Doctors of BC.
