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.
The Obstetrical and Perinatal Leadership RMRP builds on the successes and learnings of the foundational Risk Management Residency Program. It applies a blended learning approach through live virtual education and opportunities for interaction with peers across Canada.
This program is intended for all healthcare leaders practicing in the obstetrical and perinatal care setting, and for executives who oversee obstetrical and perinatal services.
