PEER North Medical Conference
About Us
Mission
The goal of PEER North is to provide a culturally relevant northern educational forum, for the purpose of connecting and strengthening relationships amongst Northern healthcare providers around current, evidence-based, primary care topics of interest.
How we started?
After years of communications with Northern health care leaders, the Northwest Territories Medical Association (NWTMA) sensed a need for greater collaboration to share experiences and knowledge unique to Northern practice. With support from Practice NWT, and in partnership with PEER; Patients, Experience, Evidence, Research; an organization free from industry bias; we are enthusiastic about creating a Northern family medicine educational forum.
We are committed to recruiting benevolent healthcare providers interested in supporting our diverse and knowledgable land-loving populations and encourage all interested healthcare providers to attend.
