10OctAs health professional educators (HPEs) we are inundated with information, and a very small proportion is useful for learning and application in patient care decision-making.

Using cognitive load theory, we employ technology tools that can enable HPE stay current and informed. -

It explores how the Canadian healthcare system continues to participate in discrimination and oppression. It also begins to explore how health care professionals can engage in praxis, which is theory-informed action in the pursuit of social justice.
