As a physician, how do I submit my sessional time & expenses for the JCC Pre-Forum 2024?

When registration opens (February 2024), physicians can register to attend the JCC Pre-Forum and Quality Forum using the ‘QF24-JCC’ discount code and are asked to submit your sessional time and expenses through an online portal, which will be shared closer to the event.

A few key things to remember:

Eligibility is for physicians located only within British Columbia.
You must submit your expenses within 90 days of the event (by July 23, 2024).
You will choose from two event options depending on whether you’ve attended just the JCC Pre-Forum (April 23) or the JCC Pre-Forum & the Quality Forum (April 23 – 25). If you are attending only the Quality Forum (April 24 & 25), your expenses are not eligible.
You must provide detailed receipts of your expenses, which will be uploaded by type of expense into the portal (so pre-save your receipts to your laptop). If you have three taxi receipts, please take one scan or picture of those three expenses together.
If there is anything unusual about your submission, you can explain in notes section.
You do not need to print and sign the form, a digital signature (by typing your name) is all that is required to submit.
Please be sure to read the details below on guidelines for your accepted expenses – for example, you can claim only up to seven (7) hours only of sessional time, even if you attend both the JCC Pre-Forum as well as the Quality Forum.
As these payments and expenses are only reimbursed via electronic funds, please ensure banking information is updated/linked on the Doctors of BC website.
It is possible that you will receive your reimbursement in two separate payments, one for your sessional time and one for travel/accommodation expenses.
For more information, please review JCC Pre-Forum Expense Guidelines.

If you have questions, please contact jccpreforum@doctorsofbc.ca.
