Montreal’s Shriners Hospital fights pain, anxiety using virtual reality
Countries worldwide face challenges meeting the growing needs for long-term care services because of high costs. A led by researchers from 鶹AV and Université du Québec en Outaouais shows that introducing nurse practitioners can significantly reduce costs and improve patient safety.
Dear colleagues,
As you know, 鶹AV is committed to helping contain the propagation of COVID-19 and fully supports the Quebec government’s decision to close all schools and universities for the two-week period ending March 29. We all must do our part to “flatten the curve” so that health services are not overwhelmed by the resulting patient load.
Dialogue 鶹AV is proud to announce that since the beginning of January 2020 Dr. ARIEL MERCADOis responsible for the coordination of French courses for 鶹AV HSS students at the 鶹AV French Language Centre(FLC).

Community nursing is an important focus for students who are completing their final year of the Bachelor of Science (Nursing) – BSc(N) program at the Ingram School of Nursing (ISoN). Collaborating with peers in small groups, they are assigned to work with a community-based organization in order to apply what they learned in class to a real-world project.

According to a 2015 census, there are just over 3,000 homeless people living in Montreal. This number does not account for those whoare dealing with hidden homelessness, such as temporarily living with friends or family or other short-term accommodation.
In addition to the many challenges and stresses of homelessness—such as meeting immediate survival needs for food, water, clothing and shelter from the elements—taking care of health needs might seem insurmountable.
The 鶹AV French Language Centre is offering French language courses specifically designed for students registered in professional programs for health and social sciences with the aim of preparing them for professional practice in Quebec.
Incoming (first year) students enrolled in Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Physical and Occupational Therapy, and Speech Language Pathology are required to attend the Interprofessional Education workshop. Attendance is for one of the two dates only and will be communicated in the first week of class.
