Rural Education and Advanced Learning (REAL) Program
Applications open again on May 8, 2024.
RhPAP’s REAL Program helps rural health professionals access continuing professional development and education opportunities that help them enhance the healthcare services they offer in their communities.
This initiative is aimed at nurses, midwives, nurse practitioners, and allied health professionals working in rural Alberta in one of the following contexts:
- a primary care network
- an out-of-scope or non-union position
- independent or private practice, or
- a clinical nurse educator
Applicants may apply for funding for courses, a semester of course, or other training opportunities.
Some recent examples of funding include:
- Bonnyville SLP takes Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy course saving her patients three hour drive to city
- Drayton Valley physiotherapist learns dry needling acupuncture technique
