L’ICIS est un chef de file dans le domaine des comparaisons et de la collaboration à l’échelle pancanadienne. Les travaux qu’il a menés jusqu’à présent ont mis en évidence la nécessité de mieux comprendre l’équivalence temps plein au sein de la main-d’œuvre de la santé. Il sera ainsi possible de produire des mesures comparables et pertinentes, notamment à l’aide d’indicateurs relatifs aux postes vacants et aux capacités.

Nous réalisons ce sondage pour savoir comment vos heures de travail sont structurées et ce que représente un ETP au sein de votre milieu d’exercice.

Vous n’avez qu’à cliquer sur ce lien pour répondre à un court sondage anonyme (de 5-15 minutes) qui nous permettra d’élaborer une définition pertinente aux yeux des professionnels de la santé tels que vous. N’hésitez pas à partager ce message avec les membres de vos réseaux!

Nous vous invitons à nous faire parvenir vos réponses au plus tard le vendredi 7 août. Les réponses tardives demeureront acceptées jusqu’à la fin du mois d’août.

The "glass cliff" is a term that refers to people who get promoted to leadership roles – with a catch. Women and minorities get promoted to top roles, but only in circumstances where the organization is in dire straits or in crisis, setting them up to fail. Today’s Mind Full guest Dr. Mel Rutherford took on one of those glass cliff roles – and, against long odds, found a way to not only succeed in the position, but to thrive.

"We did NOT disprove ghosts!"

Today on Mind Full, we are speaking with Dr. Rodney Schmaltz, who recently had a study he led at MacEwan University go somewhat viral. People do love the paranormal! Dr. Schmaltz talks about the whirlwind that comes with having a study suddenly catch the attention of the public, and about the study itself. You know how sometimes you get a creepy, hair-on-the-back-of-your-neck feeling in some older buildings? It may not be ghosts - it may be infrasound!

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy can make a significant difference when traditional talk therapy doesn't provide the needed breakthrough for someone struggling with trauma. It helps clients safely process distressing memories by integrating them into their larger, adaptive memory network, alleviating immediate symptoms and fostering long-term healing.

This EMDRIA-approved intensive training includes updated information and the latest application techniques, enabling you to offer a more comprehensive, targeted approach to trauma treatment and to greatly improve client outcomes. You’ll also learn how to customize treatments for diverse client scenarios, including children, couples, grief, pain, phobias, addictions, and dissociation.

This course also includes 10 hours of post-training consultation*, so you can fine-tune your understanding and skills with personalized guidance.

Only 50 spots per session, so register early.

And don’t forget to use code CPA100 for an extra $100 off!
