The Canadian Association of Gastroenterology’s (CAG) Educational Portal (ePortal) is a web-based platform launched in 2009 to help the membership keep up to date and fulfill their education / Maintenance of Certification (MOC) requirements.
The ePortal continues to be an invaluable tool to supplement the educational opportunities already available to CAG members (such as Canadian Digestive Diseases Week, regional meetings, etc.). The ePortal allows members to review specific topic areas, perform short self-assessments, discuss topics with colleagues across Canada, generate ideas for personal learning projects, keep up to date with CAG events and much more.
