Rural Rounds

The series will run from February to June 2012, and will be presented by both urban and rural specialists at your local community hospital’s videoconference room. We invite you to register your hospital for this new, rurally-specific CME series. This interactive program will allow you to build relationships with other practitioners across the province and give you an opportunity to discuss cases as well as your own clinical experiences.

The cost per registering hospital site is $125 per session. Discounts will be offered to small sites with three physicians or less.
