About the Program
The Clinical Webinar Series provides online, relevant, practical medical education for physicians in Nova Scotia and surrounding provinces. The program runs from September to June each year, typically offering two webinars per month. Sessions are held online at 8 pm, so you can participate without taking time away from your practice. Recordings are sometimes available for self-learning when you cannot attend live.
Each one-hour, Mainpro+ accredited webinar is interactive, allowing you to engage with clinical experts, ask questions, and discuss topics directly relevant to medical practice.
Webinars are occasionally 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 this program.
Overall Learning Objectives:
By the end of the program, participants will be able to:
1) Identify and apply recent changes in clinical guidelines and disease management across various topics to support improvements in patient care. (CanMEDS roles: Medical Expert)
2) Incorporate relevant knowledge from webinar sessions into clinical decision-making and patient interactions. (CanMEDS roles: Medical Expert, Communicator)
3) Engage with peers and experts to enhance understanding of evidence-based care. (CanMEDS roles: Collaborator, Scholar)
Session-specific learning objectives are developed and reviewed by the SPC Chair and local coordinator as the content for each session is finalized.
