For the first time, CMAJ will be uniting its paper pages with online opportunities by hosting an accredited, online professional development course designed to educate physicians about the health effects of outdoor air pollution. The course is being run in conjunction with CMAJ's series on the health effects of environmental contaminants, which is being launched in this issue (see page 1041). The case-based, moderated CME course, cosponsored by the University of Toronto and Health Canada, is designed for FPs and specialists who want to learn more about the science of air pollution and its impact on health. Registrants will be expected to commit 1.5 hours per week to the course and to check for email messages at least 3 times per week. It will run from May 1 to May 31, and has been accredited for 6 MAINPRO-C credits by the College of Family Physicians of Canada. Credits are also available from the Royal College. Cost of the course is $50, with enrolment limited to 30 physicians. For information, visit www.cmaj.ca or contact suzanne.charron@cma.ca. — CMAJ
