PGAP Workshop
As a result of contagion concerns associated with the ongoing pandemic, PGAP Training Workshops will now be offered online. Registration for the virtual training workshops will open April 01, 2021.
The online training workshops will take the form of a series of didactic webinars that can be scheduled at the registrants’ convenience. These will be followed by two half-day live webinars focussing on demonstrations of clinical techniques. More details about scheduling and costs will be made available shortly. At this time, we do not anticipate holding in-person PGAP training workshops until 2022.
Individuals who were registered for the Toronto or Burnaby workshops of 2020 can transfer their registration fees to one of the online workshops. We are investing heavily in the development of the online PGAP Training Workshops in order to ensure that they are delivered at the same high standards that have characterized the in-person workshops. We anticipate that the absence of displacement inconveniences and costs associated with attending the online training workshops will be attractive features for many clinicians interested in becoming PGAP Providers.

PGAP Training Workshops are led by Dr. Michael Sullivan. Dr. Sullivan holds the Canada Research Chair in Behavioural Health at McGill University. Dr. Sullivan has been a pioneer in research on psychosocial risk factors for delayed recovery. He developed the most widely used measures of psychosocial risk factors including the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and the Injustice Experiences Questionnaire (IEQ). He has published over 200 peer reviewed scientific papers. Dr. Sullivan developed PGAP on the basis of his extensive research on cognitive, emotional and behavioural aspects of disability. PGAP was included in the Official Disability Guidelines as an evidence-based intervention for the prevention of work-disability in 2013.
