PATIENT RESOURCES
A crucial part of this pandemic is making sure that the general public is well-informed. Our patient resources page features handouts, websites, videos, and other resources for the general public. |
RURAL & ISOLATED SUPPORT ENDEAVOUR (RISE)
The Rural & Isolated Support Endeavour (RISE) was created by the SRPC Student Committee. Their goal is to assist those experiencing isolation due to COVID-19 in rural Canada. They partner health professional students with people in rural communities across Canada to provide regular informal check-ins and social connection via phone and/or video platforms.
If you are interested in referring a patient of yours to RISE, please fill out the RISE Physician Referral Form. We will reach out to the client and get them to fill out a separate form with more details, our consent form, and the terms and conditions of participation in RISE. If your patient does not have access to a computer to fill out this form, we will be able to verbally collect the information needed when we contact them over the phone.

RAPID EVIDENCE AND KNOWLEDGE TRANSLATION (REAKT)
The University of British Columbia Faculty of Medicine Division of Continuing Professional Development’s Rural Program (RCPD) and the Rural Coordination Centre of BC (RCCbc) are providing a personalized service for all Canadian providers, powered by volunteer medical students.
REAKT responds to specific questions posed by providers, which may involve evidence review and summary, sourcing existing resources such as pre-printed order sets, or sharing ideas and innovations. Responses are rapid and sent directly to the provider making the request as well as contributing to an expanding online library of resources.
