Two Ontario postsecondary institutions are drawing on partnerships to expand their training opportunities in health care. The University of Niagara Falls Canada and Northeast College of Health Sciences in the United States have signed a cross-border articulation agreement that enables UNFC students to earn a bachelor’s degree from UNFC and a Doctor of Chiropractic from the American college one year faster than completing both degrees separately. Meanwhile, the University of Toronto and Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre have launched two emergency medicine training programs in Barrie, ON. The one-year Enhanced Skills Program offers advanced emergency medicine training for two family physicians annually, while the three-month Supplemental Emergency Medicine Experience provides immersive clinical experience for rural and small-community physicians.
