The Centre of Excellence virtual workshops combine theoretical content with videos and hands-on skill demonstrations, providing the learner with an opportunity to put pediatric knowledge into practice. Further benefits of the virtual workshops include:
- Acting as a refresher course for those who took the in-person workshops less than a year ago.
- Assisting participants in preparing for an upcoming in-person workshop.
