These courses were designed for IMGs who are studying and working in different time zones. All courses are offered in digital format and may include PDF downloads, weekly live group Q & A sessions, explainer videos and the option to book 1-1 coaching sessions upon course completion. Courses can be accessed with either a computer, tablet or mobile phone.
Coaching focuses on using effective written and oral communication that is expected for entry into medical residency or health care professions in Canada. Communication skills focus on demonstrating patient-centred care, ethics and professionalism within the context of Canadian culture and Canadian Medical Association Code of Ethics and Professionalism.
