BloodTechNet is proud to announce plans to host the inaugural BloodTechNet Learning Competition in January 2011. This initiative will provide $125,000 in awards to innovative continuing education projects for Canadian medical laboratory technologists (MLTs) in Transfusion Science. Whether it's a project that supports informal learning or more structured continuing education, the Learning Competition will ask community members and leaders not only to submit innovative learning ideas, but also to drive support and vote for unique and worthy learning projects. The most popular applicants will qualify for funding. Winners will be announced at the Canadian Society for Transfusion Medicine Conference in Toronto in May 2011. More Information
National Physician Survey
Canadian health care is evolving rapidly, prompting debates on everything from funding and wait times, to medical education and the role of technology. As a physician, you have valuable insights to inform these discussions.
Answering the National Physician Survey (NPS) will give you a voice and help us gain a better understanding of the realities you currently face. It will also help governments and leaders identify barriers to care and develop solutions to improve your practice environments.
Conducted by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, the Canadian Medical Association and The College of Family Physicians of Canada, the NPS is more than a survey of physicians, residents and medical students in Canada; it is a powerful resource to inform researchers and medical academics and build our knowledge about current and future trends in health care in Canada.
Physicians who complete the survey may use it as a stimulus to earn Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program credits. All participants also have the opportunity to enter a draw to win $1,000, tax free.
You should have already received the NPS via email or in the mail. Please make your contribution by answering this important survey today.
