Teaching & Supervising Junior Learners in Virtual Patient Care (VPC) Settings

Originally Aired on Monday, September 28, 2020
💻 Zoom Virtual Event

This MacPFD event will be focusing on teaching & supervision of junior learners in Virtual Patient Care (VPC) settings. We have previously featured events that speak to the needs of senior trainees (e.g. residents, fellows), but this session will aim to highlight some key faculty development content for those who are hosting junior trainees (pre-graduate trainees in MD, PA, NP, OT, PT, SLP, RN programs) in the VPC setting.

At this end of this activity, learners will be able to:

Incorporate best practice virtual care supervision in their own clinical environments.
Learn about considerations for counselling clients and their families via virtual care.
Highlight important considerations in communication with junior learners and patients related to virtual care encounters.
