The Rural Site Visits team is visiting all 202 rural, remote, and First Nations communities in BC that are covered by the (RSA) to learn their perspectives on healthcare delivery. The team are eager to get back on the road and into communities when it’s safe to do so, following a long hiatus caused by COVID-19.

Launched in the fall of 2021, the survey was designed to determine how this practice-changing, innovative technology is being used throughout the province. Surveys were sent to over 1,000 rural clinicians, who answered questions about POCUS education, how it is being used and how often, and what supports might be required to improve comfort and safety.
