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. It’s the perfect opportunity to gain autonomy and pursue your professional development working in a dispensary.

Benefits

Our paid training is recognized for its exceptional quality and know-how, which 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 Guide for Nurses in Primary Care from the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch (FNIHB) of Health Canada.

MON+ is proud to offer the only training with northern doctors as trainers. We stand out because of this 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.

Primary objectives

Training to work in an expanded role brings together the main guidelines for assessment (history and physical examination), diagnosis and management of current or urgent health problems affecting specific systems of the human body.

The training is recognized by Emploi-Québec and the OIIQ (Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec), and a certificate confirming the training is issued after the final evaluation.

  • Perform a complete assessment (all bio/psycho/social aspects) to take care of the patient with a holistic approach.
  • Recognize signs and symptoms to act quickly and provide emergency care.
  • Use the various therapeutic guides and other medical resources.
  • Promote health and prevent illness, in particular by educating clients (community or industrial).
  • Develop a sense of self-criticism as well as a clinical judgment focused on respecting the patient and their overall needs.
