Did you know? A Nurse Practitioner is a completely independent health professional who can perform a wide range of services, very similar to the care that a family doctor provides?

Join Jennifer Mador, Director of Rural Primary Care for the Nurse Practitioner Association of Alberta (NPAA) to learn more about the role nurse practitioners can play in the primary healthcare continuum.

This webinar will be held September 21, 11am – Noon MDT.
