Program Description

The SRPC mentorship program is a pilot program that aims to connect medical students to rural physicians and residents from across the country to allow career exploration, guidance and increased understanding of the scope of rural practice.

Goals:

• Connecting students to rural physicians across Canada
• Career exploration and guidance
• Increase understanding of the scope of rural practice
• Provide learning opportunities outside of the formal academic environment
• Contribute to the current and growing need of rural physicians in Canada

Your Role As a Mentor

As a mentor with SRPC, medical students will connect with you through the SRPC office manager. Once you are connected, there will be flexibility in how you set up your mentor-mentee relationships, which can be tailored on an individual basis. This may include answering a few quick questions, setting up a longitudinal mentorship plan, or organizing shadowing experiences (public health guidelines permitting).

Expectations in your role as a mentor may include:

• Sharing experiences of rural practice with mentees for the purpose of career exploration and guidance
• Being honest and open regarding the rewards/challenges to rural medicine
• Forming a plan and setting expectations with your mentee regarding frequency of meetings and meeting platform to be used
• Sharing appropriate resources
• Recognizing that advice given, while extremely valuable, does not substitute for MD program-specific mentorship and supports

AD is one of the most common paediatric skin disorders, and disease onset occurs in 85 to 90 percent of Canadian children before age 5. Among children and youth with AD, almost three-fifths have mild to moderate disease, which can be managed by a paediatrician or other primary care practitioners.

• Describe the diagnostic process for paediatric atopic dermatitis (AD)
• Describe the non-pharmacologic management of AD
• Describe the different first-line pharmacologic therapies for AD

We would like to share with you an upcoming new program hosted by a partner organization of ours, the Stigma-Free Society. They are hosting a Peer Support Facilitator Training Program for Rural Women Entrepreneurs in collaboration with Robyn Priest LIVE YOUR TRUTH, as a part of their new Rural Mental Wellness Toolkit.

The Rural Mental Wellness Toolkit is the Society’s response to the mental health crisis across North America in rural and agricultural communities. In the Peer Support Facilitator Training Program, participants will be trained to be Peer Support Group Facilitators and this will allow them to create peer support groups in their own rural and agricultural communities. Participants will gain an understanding of peer support fundamentals and how to apply them effectively when supporting peers, and learn how to effectively communicate and share personal experiences to enhance interactions as a peer supporter and group facilitator!

Course information:

77th Annual Clinical and Scientific Conference

The SOGC’s Annual Clinical and Scientific Conference (ACSC) is the premier continuing medical education event in Canada for obstetrics and gynaecology, bringing together the largest gathering of health care professionals working in the field of women’s health. As COVID-19 continues to influence the way we can communicate and come together, after careful consideration, the SOGC decided to offer the 2021 ACSC in a virtual format instead of holding an in-person event.
