TORONTO – Medworxx Inc., a provider
of healthcare solutions for patient flow, compliance and education, and
mdBriefCase Inc., the largest provider of accredited online continuing
education in Canada, have announced a program to provide accredited

There are approximately 85,000 healthcare workers regularly using the
Medworxx Learning Management System (LMS) across Canada. Through the
Medworxx LMS, they will now have access to the full library of
accredited, online continuing education courses created by mdBriefCase.
The technology integration, expected to be completed in the fall of

Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits, and have them captured along

The courses are appropriate for all healthcare professionals, including
but not limited to physicians, pharmacists, and nurses.
mdBriefCase produces approximately 120 courses per year, representing
approximately 200 accredited hours of continuing education. These
courses are on a wide variety of topics ranging from women’s health to
cardiovascular disease to pediatric health to respiratory illness, and
many more.
These courses are developed in conjunction with medical associations
such as the Canadian Cardiovascular Society, the Society of
Obstetricians & Gynaecologists of Canada, and the Canadian Pediatric
Society.
“Medworxx is delighted to be able to provide this extra value to our
customers,” said Dan Matlow, President & CEO, Medworxx. “The robust
courses created by mdBriefCase, combined with the reporting and tracking
capability of the Medworxx LMS, will provide hospitals with an extremely
