The most comprehensive expanded role training on the market
Practicing primary health care nursing in aboriginal communities and northern regions requires training in an expanded role as a prerequisite. This is a unique opportunity to fully develop your professional autonomy by working in a dispensary.
You’ll have the opportunity to perform procedures that are usually reserved for physicians. Thanks to this experience, you’ll have the possibility to travel and discover native and Inuit cultures.

Benefits
Our paid training is recognized for its exceptional quality and expertise. This training is provided free of charge to MON+ nurses.
Our expanded role training was created in the spring of 2012 and has since been provided to hundreds of nurses exercising this critical role in northern regions. It is continuously updated, inspired by new practices and the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch (FNIHB), Clinical Practice Guidelines for Nurses in Primary Care of Health Canada.
MON+ is proud to offer the only training with northern doctors as trainers. We stand out because of our team of experienced and specialized instructors with multiple field experiences. We therefore rely on the expertise of doctors, emergency physicians, midwives, ophthalmologists, nurses in an expanded role, pharmacists and nurse master instructors in resuscitation.
