EDIIA Advanced Simulation programming
44 Simulation Educators and Learners came together on May 18, 2022 for a successful day of learning.
Faculty Mentorship Program
Through our use of both onQ and Zoom, we ensured working professionals had access to a tailored education program specifically designed for health education professionals. Online learning courses were designed and implemented by a talented group of professionals from the Course Development team.
Despite the continued challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Master of Health Professions Education (MHPE) team ensured proper support was available to both applicants and learners.
The 2021 Summer Intensive Week courses were suddenly, but successfully, shifted to an online format. Preparations are now underway for the inaugural onsite delivery of the 2022 Summer Intensives.
Support was also provided to applicants who experienced COVID-related issues with paperwork submission.
