Peer to Peer Connect is an educational program to help build capacity and confidence amongst your family physician colleagues as they move through the learning journey from awareness to knowledge, confidence, implementation, spread and scale.
Discussions between Peer Learners and Peer Guides are limited to general clinical scenarios. Patient specific information may not be shared under any circumstances and clinical content is not interpreted as medical advice. If the Learner is seeking patient-specific consultation, the Peer Guide may share information about resources like e-Consult that are appropriate to that need.
As part of the application process, Peer Learners are required to confirm “I understand that Practising Well is designed to provide educational support to family physicians. It is not a clinical consultation support for specific patients.”
Under the current program design, Peer Guides cannot also be Peer Learners.
Peer Guides will be supported through the Peer Guide Development Program (to be developed with your input) and through quarterly calls.
Practising Well is certified for 12 hours of peer support, which averages out to one-hour per month. We recognize that not all Peer Learners will be the same, and there is room to be flexible with how the time is divided.
Our goal is to be regularly providing an average of 50 hours of direct support to learners per month.
