For Mainpro+ CPD providers

Credit Every Physician at Rounds Without the Weekly Spreadsheet

Physicians give their CFPC member ID once, when they register. After each session, LecturePanda builds your Direct Credit Entry file in the CFPC's layout and sends it to you, ready for the DCE dashboard.

For the physician

Attend, Evaluate, Download the Certificate, Done

Your physicians never enter these credits in Mainpro+ themselves. Their part ends when the session does.

  • Confirmed at the sessionA claim code or check-in at the door shows they were there.
  • Evaluation before creditThe evaluation you require comes first, so your program data is complete.
  • A certificate on the spotReady to download the moment they finish, and kept in their Learning History.
  • Credited without lifting a fingerTheir row is already in your next Direct Credit Entry file.

Weekly Rounds on Autopilot

Set Up in Minutes

Start from a board's format, pick CFPC Mainpro+, and choose the member ID question or let the setup create one.

Member IDs Checked

The member ID question catches an entry in the wrong format while the physician is still registering.

Session Details Typed Once

The CERT+ session ID, credit category, activity type and format go on the credit, not on every row.

On Your Schedule

Weekly or monthly, by email or to a Google Drive folder, with no one remembering to export.

Every Physician Once

Each completion goes into exactly one file. Nobody credited twice, nobody missed.

Every File on Record

A preview before each send, and Send History with a download and Resend for a year after.

Since 2021, we have integrated Lecture Panda into our operations, greatly enhancing both our internal organization and the experience of our participants. LecturePanda stands out for its intuitive design, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive range of features. Among its many attributes, I particularly appreciate the simplicity and effectiveness of sharing specific landing pages with participants for credit claiming purposes. Whether through a hyperlink or QR code, participants ca easily access the login page, streamlining the process.

Questions from CPD Providers

How long does setup take?

One short sitting. Choose "Start from a board's format" in a Spreadsheet Report and pick CFPC Mainpro+, enter your planning organization once, choose the member ID, province and city questions or let LecturePanda create them, and fill in each session's details on its credit. We're glad to set it up with you on a call using one of your own sessions.

What do we need to have ready?

The CERT+ session ID, credit category, activity type, delivery format and hours for each session. LecturePanda takes care of the layout, the headings, the dates, the number formats and the schedule.

What if a physician types their member ID wrong?

The member ID question checks the entry as they register, so a stray symbol is fixed on the spot by the person who knows their ID. The preview shows the next file's rows before it goes, and Send History keeps every file, with its rows, so a fix starts from the exact file you sent.

Does it work for free rounds and journal clubs?

Yes. Weekly rounds, a journal club and a paid conference all report the same way, and Spreadsheet Reports are part of the LecturePanda subscription. Pricing is an annual subscription plus participants; see pricing.

Can one program credit Canadian and US physicians?

Yes. A LecturePanda course can carry more than one credit, each offered to the right registration types, so Canadian family physicians go into your Direct Credit Entry file and US physicians report to ACCME PARS from the same program.

Can we still change the file?

Yes. Once it's set up, the Mainpro+ report is an ordinary Spreadsheet Report: change the schedule, the recipients or a column whenever you need to. Send a test shows you the result first.
