Looking for a family physician from a rural or remote area of Canada to contribute to the development of an e-course on return to work, maintaining work, and mental health of cancer survivors for primary care providers
We are seeking to recruit a family physician working in rural/remote areas of Canada to participate as an advisory group member in the development of an educational e-course for primary health care providers on the Return to Work, Maintaining Work, and Mental Health of Cancer Survivors for Primary Care Providers. As an advisory group member, your role will include advising on the development of a nationally available e-course for primary care providers (e.g. family physicians, nurse practitioners, and others). The educational e-course will have a particular focus on psychological wellness and addressing mental health challenges in the context of supporting cancer survivors with the return to work. The e-course will be made available in English and French.
The advisory group member will be called on to inform the content selection to meet the criteria for continuing education credits for Manpro+ for physicians, identify and assist in promoting recruiting for the needs analysis, and participation in the course.
The commitment will be 7 hours of work paid at $100 per hour.
