PDHs are an important part of the CPC program, and all regular CIPHI members must log their PDHs in the Member Service Centre. It is their responsibility to review CIPHI’s professional development requirements each year.
PDHs must be entered by January 31 of the year subsequent to when they were accrued.
Members are encouraged to enter their PDHs throughout the year, rather than wait until the last minute to add them all at once.

Professional Development (PD) Model
The PD Model quantifies the areas in which EPHPs should direct their professional development in order to maintain and improve their professional competency. It outlines the annual PDHs required of regular CIPHI members, the PDH activity categories, and category limits.
PDH Entry Tool
This tool assists with the PDH entry process by providing a summary of activity categories and respective category caps, as well as outlining the amount of detail expected in entries so that an auditor can approve them. download
Organizational PDH approval
CoPE no longer issues CPC codes and assigns PDHs to activities submitted by organizations.
Members must ensure their activity aligns with one or more of the Discipline Specific Competencies. They are required to calculate the appropriate number of PDHs for their activity, using the resources provided.
A list of environmental public health organizations providing educational opportunities has been created. This list is not exhaustive. Members can still claim PDHs for activities they attend that are hosted by organizations outside the pre-approved list.
Educational opportunities hosted by any of these organizations may be submitted to education@ciphi.ca for posting on CIPHI social media pages. This will be the primary means of notifying members of upcoming educational opportunities eligible for PDHs.
Educational Opportunity Providers List
Organizations can apply to be included in the list of approved organizations offering educational opportunities for members. The applications will be reviewed and the list updated at minimum twice per year. If your organization wishes to apply, please complete and submit the form below:
