Synergy Session:
Community Revitalization Through Reinvention
|
Communities experiencing ups and downs sometimes draw the conclusion that something entirely new is needed - a reinvention. But given each community and region has its own set of assets and challenges, the best solution will be different for each place. In this session, University of Alberta’s Dr. Kristof Van Assche and his team, will discuss opportunities and obstacles for reinvention and examine how communities can draw on their own local strengths and assets to tailor a solution to build a path forward.

Self-Care: Rural Doctors Support Each Other
|
Being a doctor in a rural community has unique challenges; from knowing too much about your friends and neighbours, to being the first line of defense in difficult life or death situations, it can be hard to find someone who really understands. This time on Rural Routes we listen in on a group of doctors whose informal support network has become a crucial line of support. Join us as they laugh about their experiences, share their most challenging experiences, and explain why, despite the distance between them and their busy schedules, they make time to connect.
