"Palliative Care is Everyone's Business"
We are a subcommittee of the NOSM CEPD Unit providing Palliative Care Education for North East Ontario. Our target audience includes physicians, residents, learners, RNs, NPs, other health care providers and Palliative Care educators offering compassionate, patient centered Palliative Care in the Northeast, however since we are virtual we invite participants from all across Northern Ontario to join.
We continuously gather information from various sources to gauge the needs of our target audience, which includes surveys and evaluation responses, but also unperceived needs such as provincial/federal guidelines, emerging trends, population health data, best practice guidelines and literature/research..
If you have a topic or speaker you would like to suggest please let us know!
