IMPaCT Curriculum

The IMPaCT curriculum will be available open-access (free!) on RISE to anyone who registers. We will use RISE to collect metrics on reviews of our modules and report on our reach. IMPaCT has partnered with other training platforms offering content on RISE to avoid duplication and promote harmonized multidisciplinary training across Canada.

RISE is an open-source platform to share and use learning tools, to develop the competencies of a skilled health professional researcher, while providing infrastructure for mentorship and progress review. It’s underlining goal is to become the ‘go to resource’ for scientist training in Canada.
