CHICA-Manitoba
CHICA-Manitoba Chapter Education
The CHICA-Manitoba Education Committee is comprised of three members elected by quorum every other year (at every other election). The committee plans programs of varied scope to meet the needs of, and empower, the membership and other health care disciplines. The Education Committee (E.C.) is tasked with promoting the educational activities of the organization: E.C. members often present evidence – based education sessions and external experts are also solicited to share and present their expertise.
Education sessions are held monthly in conjunction with the chapter's regular meetings. In addition to the monthly education sessions (except July and August), the E.C. coordinates a free Retreat Day open to CHICA-Manitoba members only. This is a full education day where current pressing topics are discussed and presented by local experts. As well, CHICA-Manitoba offers an annual Educational Conference coordinated by both the E.C. and the Finance Committee. This day is open to any healthcare professional interested in learning about infection prevention and control.
