Continuing Professional Development

RhPAP offers continuing professional development for physicians in rural Alberta. CPD helps health professionals enhance existing skills or gain new skills in order to meet the health-care needs of their community and surrounding areas.

Courses

Since 2001, the EDE Course has been taught over to more than 15,000 health-care providers. Its use has become the standard of care in large trauma centres, remote settings, and everything in between. RhPAP is partnered with Dr. Ray Wiss, creator of the EDE Course, to bring this course to physicians, physician assistants, registered nurses, nurse practitioners, midwives, and other allied health professionals in rural Alberta communities.

For more information, visit the EDE Point-of-care Ultrasound Course webpage.

GEMS is an online, multimedia emergency-skills training experience with a hands-on component provided via a STARS Human Patient Simulation Session. GEMS modules help rural physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants upgrade their emergency medical skills. Online modules may be completed from work or at home.

For more information, visit the GEMS Course webpage.

Interdiscipinary Programs & Webinars

Is there training that would benefit your rural health-care team, but no other program provides funding for it? Rural teams of two or more health professionals from at least two of Alberta’s regulated health professions, can apply for up to $5,000 to host a training event in their rural community.

For more information, visit the FIRST Program webpage.

The learning series offers workshop-type events focused on sharing strategies, tools, and techniques with rural communities that will help enhance rural community capacity for local initiatives and projects including those related to health workforce attraction and retention. These sessions are typically presented in cooperation with educational partners like the Campus for Communities of the Future and the Tamarack Institute.
