Our Clinical Webinar Series provides a convenient way to stay informed and current without disrupting your workday. Most of our live webinars are scheduled at 8 pm, allowing you to participate without taking time away from your practice. As a Nova Scotian physician, you’ll have access to an annual series of live, one-hour, Mainpro+ accredited programs. These interactive sessions give you the opportunity to engage with experts and ask questions on a variety of highly relevant topics.
If you’re unable to attend a webinar, don’t worry. With permission from the facilitator, we post recordings of the presentations for up to two months after the event, allowing you to catch up at your convenience.
On occasion, webinars are used to communicate important updates from the Department of Health and Wellness.
We gratefully acknowledge the financial support from the Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness for our Clinical Webinar Series.
Overall Learning Objectives:
By the end of the program, participants will be able to:
- Identify and apply recent changes in clinical guidelines and disease management across various topics to support improvements in patient care.
- Incorporate relevant knowledge from webinar sessions into clinical decision making and patient interactions
- Engage with peers and experts to enhance understanding of evidence-based care
Session specific learning objectives are developed and reviewed by the SPC Chair and local coordinator as the content for each session is finalized.
