This course focuses the learner on three main messages. The homes have zero tolerance for abuse, we all have a duty to protect the residents, and reporting of resident abuse should happen immediately. There are several interactive exercises for the learner to learn what and when to report certain matters. These include improper or incompetent care of a resident, abuse of a resident by anyone, unlawful conduct that resulted in harm to the resident, misuse of funding by the licensee or misuse or misappropriation of a resident’s money. “Whistle-blowing” is explained as protecting the residents and leaners are assured of whistle-blowing protection under the Act. Staff finish the course with a true or false exercise to ensure knowledge transfer. This course is required for all LTC staff prior to performing their responsibilities (i.e. as part of Orientation) and annually.
This course is also availble in the following series:
Putting on or “donning” and taking off or “doffing” personal protective equipment (PPE) properly prevents staff from pathogens and spreading pathogens. This course includes videos on putting on and removing surgical masks properly, putting on a cone n95 respirator and taking off a cone n95 respirator. Learners are required to drag and drop donning icons in the correct order. If they are correct, they skip the donning demonstration. Learners watch a video on taking off full PPE. They are then required to drag and drop doffing icons in the correct order. Again, if they are correct, they skip the doffing demonstration. Learners review donning and doffing education sheets. This course is required for all LTC staff prior to performing their responsibilities (i.e. as part of Orientation) and annually.
This course is also availble in the following series:
Beginning in 1883, residential schools were in existence for well over 100 years, meaning that many successive generations of children from the same communities and families endured the experience of them. All three nations of children - First Nations, Inuit and Métis - attended residential schools; however, the experiences of each nation differed slightly. This course discusses the historical impact of the residential schools, which in turn led to the development of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC). The course also provides an overview of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and how it is connected to the TRC Calls to Action.

Topic: Novel Roles of Platelets in Infection and Inflammation
Presented by
Dr. Robert A. Campbell
Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Utah
Abstract:
I have concentrated my research effort on dissecting the mechanisms underpinning how cells alter coagulation under normal and disease situations, as well as determining how hemostasis and thrombosis, in turns, alters cellular response during inflammation. In particular, I have focused on understanding the regulation of transcription and translation in megakaryocyte and platelets under health and disease. To accomplish these goals, I have developed in vitro and in vivo model systems to examine gene and protein expression in megakaryocytes and platelets. We have elucidated novel mechanisms regulating megakaryocyte and platelet function and activation under normal homeostasis, including translational control mechanism regulated by microRNAs. We have also discovered that platelets and megakaryocytes possess novel intrinsic host defense mechanisms in addition to their ability to respond to inflammatory signals that induce robust changes in gene and protein expression. We have also demonstrated these changes in gene expression alter thrombo‐inflammatory responses, which often occur in the setting of aging and in the context of stroke. We also have extensively studied platelet interactions with other cells including neutrophils and monocytes and how these interactions alter platelet and leukocyte responses. In addition, my laboratory has significant experience dissecting molecular pathway in platelets, which regulate thrombosis using murine model systems. This includes in vivo models of thrombosis such as venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and ischemic stroke. In these studies, we have used state‐of‐the‐art technologies including RNA‐seq to examine the transcriptional changes in platelets and megakaryocytes from mice to uncover novel genes critical for platelet responses during inflammation and thrombosis.

Bloody Easy Blood Administration is an ORBCoN online course providing training in blood basis and transfusion basics. Upon completion of this module, participants will be ale to describe blood components and blood products, explain blood group compatibility and the significance of the ABO and Rh blood group system, prepare a patient for blood transfusion, demonstrate the safe administration of blood, identify blood transfusion complications, reactions and steps for management of reactions, and apply the 8 rights of transfusion.
Duration: 90 minutes
The purpose of this program is to provide future registrants of the College of Homeopaths of Ontario with a deeper understanding of the requirements to practice in Ontario’s regulated health care environment. This includes a review of the laws, regulations and standards that relate to the practice of homeopathy in Ontario. This program is designed to ensure that homeopaths understand their legal responsibilities and how they affect day-to-day practice. This 18-unit learning module is supported by a handbook and a series of quizzes.
The multi-media interactive online learning program is comprised of 18 lessons and over 100 short multiple-choice questions.
Duration: 8 hours
