Real-Time Virtual Support (RTVS) can be used in a variety of ways to support Residents as they take the first steps towards independent medical practice in rural, remote or Indigenous communities.
RTVS Resident Simulations
Real-Time Virtual Support is partnering with UBC CPD to bring simulations to residency sites across the province. UBC CPD RTVS Simulation supports residents planning to practice in rural communities by providing an opportunity to gain first-hand experience of how they can integrate RTVS into their practice in the future.
