Up to $35,000 available for rural physician training
Society of Rural Physicians of Canada (SRPC) has received funding to reimburse rural physicians who are interested in advanced skills training, enabling them to meet specific community needs and reducing the need for patient transport out of communities to receive these services.
They have received 48 trainee applications to date, and this national program will fund 166 physicians. The maximum funding available for each physician is $35,000.

Reminder – RNs needed as research volunteers
Researchers from the School of Nursing at McMaster University are looking for volunteers who are Registered Nurses working in primary health care settings within Toronto, Ottawa-Gatineau, Hamilton, Kitchener-Cambridge-Waterloo, or London.
The purpose of the study is to understand how Registered Nurses working in primary health care settings facilitate access to health care for recent immigrants. Potential participants will be screened during an initial telephone call to determine if they are eligible for the study.
The study involves a one-on-one interview that will take approximately 45-60 minutes and will involve one session. The interview will take place using Zoom (or by phone) and interview date and times are flexible. All participants will receive a $20 gift card following completion of the interview. For more information about this study, or to volunteer for this study, please contact Eugenia Ling via email: Linge6@mcmaster.ca.
