The COVID-19 pandemic has placed enormous pressures on the capacity of health care systems and providers to continue to deliver vital services.

What are some things clinicians and the public can do to help free up limited health care resources for those who need it most? How might we navigate the confusing and sometimes conflicting advice about what to do and what not to do? Can we learn from the efforts of colleagues in countries deeply impacted by the pandemic?

Tune-in to our weekly virtual gathering of the Choosing Wisely Canada community for interactive learning and discussions, engaging talks by leading speakers and more importantly, an opportunity to stay connected with each other during these challenging times.

Join the next virtual gathering on April 22 from 12–1:00 p.m. ET on Less is More: Resource Stewardship in Primary Care During COVID-19 with Dr. Kimberly Wintemute, Primary Care Co-Lead, Choosing Wisely Canada. Join the discussion about how primary care practices are re-organizing resources to protect staff and ensure continuity of care in response to COVID-19.

Bring your experiences and share insights with the Choosing Wisely Canada community on our gatherings every Wednesday from 12-1:00 p.m. ET.
