Continuing Medical Education
Continuing medical education (CME) is a central issue in the retention of physicians in rural and northern Manitoba. As a result, CME is part of the mandate of the ORNH and a portion of the budget for rural CME now falls under the administration of the ORNH. The task then, for the ORNH, is to work with both practicing rural and northern physicians and the CME department to ensure that CME training is relevant to those physicians and the communities they serve and that this training is accessible to those physicians.
If you have particular thoughts on CME that might contribute to these efforts to make CME more relevant and accessible, we would be happy to hear them. They can be forwarded to the ORNH at: info@ornh.mb.ca.
