Program

Various preparation and integration initiatives have been put forth to help new healthcare and social service professionals feel capable to serve the public in French. These include simulated clinics for developing language skills with patients, which allow students to practice their medical terminology in French. First undertaken as a pilot project in Saskatchewan, this opportunity is now offered elsewhere in Canada through the Franco-santé initiative.
For interns in different professions in healthcare and social services, the Welcoming and Professional Integration Service (SAIP) of the Réseau santé en français au Nunavut (Résefan) offers a chance to have an educational and human experience that is out of the ordinary.
Come learn about the Welcoming Francophone Communities initiative, in which community collaborations are used to welcome and retain bilingual human resources.
