Remote Presence Forum to explore use of innovative technology in meeting healthcare demands in rural and remote regions
The University of Saskatchewan's International Centre for Northern Governance and Development (ICNGD) has joined with the College of Nursing to offer a three day, international forum that will explore the application of remote learning technology in rural, remote and northern communities. The Remote Presence Forum, which will bring together global leaders in the field of remote learning and clinical application, will host a public session entitled "How can Remote Presence solve our healthcare delivery challenge?". The presentation will demonstrate how Remote Presence technology can remove barriers to accessing quality healthcare in rural and remote regions.
