This program helps expose internationally educated health care professionals to the Canadian Health Care System. This program is designed for internationally educated health care professionals (nurses, dentists, physiotherapists, pharmacists, doctors & medical radiation therapists etc.). It provides a critical understanding of the important elements of the Health System in Canada, a cultural orientation to Canada and the language/communication requirements to be effective in a Canadian health care setting. Communication, problem solving and teamwork are part of every course in the program. A considerable amount of emphasis is dedicated to the development of effective communication skills as it is considered a critical skill requirement for transition to working effectively as a health care professional in Canada.
