Testimonials about the SPU Online Program:
The program allowed me to reflect on the past and made me push through my goal to become a Registered Nurse in Ontario. I also got the chance to meet other IENs through the Peer Mentoring Group and shared common goals and experiences.
Natalie Acosta
Internationally Educated Nurse (IEN) Participant in the N4/SPU IEHPs Online Program
As a physician trained abroad, I had a certain view of myself and my role as a healthcare professional. At the program's start, I did not realize the importance of cultural intelligence and cultural diversity in healthcare delivery. I used to think that my knowledge and skills were sufficient to provide effective patient care. However, throughout the program, I learned to understand better the importance of empathy, generative listening and effective communication to understand better the needs and perspectives of my patients and colleagues.
