TORONTO, May 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ —

mdBriefCase Group Inc., in collaboration with Enterprises at the University of Pretoria and Toronto SickKids International Hospital, and with the support of the High Commission of Canada in South Africa, is excited to announce the official launch of its Africa and Middle East division. Adapted from its successful Canadian model – with input from local healthcare leaders – mdBriefCase Africa and Middle East provides free, accredited, online continuing medical education (CME) based on the needs of health care practitioners in Africa and the Middle East.

“Building on our positive experiences in Canada and Australia, we wanted to expand our operations to Africa and the Middle East,” says Greg Cook, Founder and CEO of mdBriefCase.  “While online CME is in the early stages of development in these regions, the opportunities to make concrete and impactful contributions to clinician education is significant and wide-reaching.”
