Created for healthcare leaders in the perinatal / neonatal space, HIROC invites you to apply to our newest offering of the Risk Management Residency Program (RMRP) the Obstetrical and Perinatal Leadership RMRP.

In 2021 HIROC launched a pan-Canadian RMRP to provide an opportunity to learn from shared experiences and create a network of healthcare risk management peers from across Canada. 

Join us for the inaugural launch of the Obstetrical and Perinatal Leadership RMRP. This Program applies a blended learning approach through live virtual education and opportunities for interaction with peers across Canada. 

The program is intended for all healthcare leaders practicing in the obstetrical and perinatal care setting, and for executives who oversee the obstetrical and perinatal services portfolio.

HIROC is now accepting applications for the 2026 Obstetrical and Perinatal Leadership RMRP
