We are excited to launch a brand new micro-certificate program designed to support MRTs in delivering ethical, patient-centered care.

This is an enjoyable and thoughtful set of online modules that were developed to ensure that Canadian MRTs have a sound basis in healthcare and end of life ethics, are equipped to recognize and work against fat bias in healthcare, can communicate effectively by becoming more aware of traditional Indigenous frameworks and also can develop meaningful bonds while maintaining boundaries. These courses will increase and develop your professionalism, while being approachable and applicable to your daily work!You can take each course individually, or you can pursue a micro certificate through a bundle offer.

This includes the following all NEW courses for a bundled-up discount price, or take one individually by following the links below.

• Anti-fat Bias: Considerations for MRTs
• Applied Ethics for Healthcare Practitioners
• Bonds and Boundaries: Meaningful Connections as Fuel in the Workplace
• Engaging Indigenous Teachings to Help Communication Thrive
• Professionalism and Applied Ethics for End of Life Care

Grandfathered Option: We highly recommend using the bundled price option to join us in this micro certificate! There is no formalized grandfathered option for this micro certificate, as all of these quick self-studies are being newly launched. If you take a course option individually, and later decide you’d like to join us in the micro certificate, please reach out to us and we will find the most cost-effective way to apply a discount to your remaining course(s)! We will also communicate this in your results letter, when you successfully complete an eligible course. No previous coursework is eligible for this program.

Do you need to complete CPD on patient relationships or to meet regulator requirement? All of these modules are accredited and are a great way to earn useful CPD credits. Contact cpd@camrt.ca with any questions!
