• Particularly in the fields of health care and technology, it’s important to be a lifelong learner to keep abreast of the constantly shifting landscape and to leverage the advancements that will have a positive impact on our patients and staff. The Virtual Care Certificate offered by Digital Health Canada is effective in familiarizing oneself with the terminology, trends and considerations of the rapidly growing and evolving area of virtual care.

  Carmen Leavitt

• Through the Virtual Care Certificate program, I have been exposed to many different applications of virtual care throughout Canada by reading real-world examples. I enjoyed listening to the podcasts and hearing from many leaders about what their struggles with implementing virtual care were and how they worked towards overcoming them. Having this learning opportunity all while being given the flexibility of learning at my own pace, has expanded my knowledge of the complexities involved with virtual care.”
