New Interdisciplinary Graduate Education & Learning (NIGEL) Series
Welcome to Going Rural Health’s New Interdisciplinary Graduate Education & Learning (NIGEL) Series. The series was created in response to identified learning needs provided by our rural stakeholders.
The NIGEL series covers a number of topics that are especially useful to new graduate health professionals, including those encompassing the transferable skills that are so essential when working in healthcare.
The series has been converted to an online format to enable health professionals to access the content at a time that fits in with their busy schedules.
