What’s in Phase 1?
Phase 1 lays the groundwork with a focus on:
- Core EIDA-R concepts: equity, inclusion, diversity, anti-racism, and intersectionality.
- Understanding equity vs. equality: Recognizing that fairness often requires different approaches to meet diverse needs.
- Impact of systemic barriers: exploring how policies and practices can create inequities in healthcare.
- Patient engagement principles: effective strategies to partner with patients, families, and caregivers, enhancing trust and outcomes.
This phase is designed to be flexible—engage at your own pace, focus on what’s most relevant, and skip content you’ve already covered elsewhere.
What’s next?
- Phase 2 (March–April): Active Offer of French Language Health Services.
- Ongoing: Track your progress, upload certifications, and share successes within your teams.
Together, we’re building a more inclusive, patient-centered healthcare system. Thanks for being part of this important journey.
