Day Two of CTC Training:

Today was full of learning. We covered key topics like confidentiality, policies, and procedures, and got hands-on with our exciting new iPads, which will be used in communities to support telemedicine appointments from the comfort of home. 💻🏡

We also received a briefing on the Virtual Emergency Services Program, currently offered in 18 of our First Nation communities, a vital resource increasing access to urgent care in remote areas.

Everyone received certificates for their participation, and of course, there were some cuddles with our mascot, Stevie the Turtle. 🐢💚

Tomorrow, we move on to our final day of training, excited to finish strong and carry these tools forward into our communities!
