Training program will help Saskatchewan doctors build skills in diagnosing, treating mental health in children and youth

The REACH Institute program is being launched in Saskatoon by the continuing medical education division at the University of Saskatchewan. Twenty-five physicians from across the province will begin the interactive course in December. Following the three-day session, doctors will take part in a case-based distance learning program over a six-month period to continue their training. Four psychiatrists, one pediatrician, and four family doctors are working towards certification through the REACH Institute to deliver the course to more physicians in the province.
