Created for healthcare leaders in the obstetrics and perinatal setting, HIROC invites you to apply to the Obstetrical and Perinatal Leadership Risk Management Residency Program (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 builds on the successes and learnings of the 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.
HIROC is now accepting applications for the 2026 Obstetrical and Perinatal Leadership RMRP.
