KO Telemedicine is working with Lakehead University to develop an Aboriginal University Entry Program for Health Careers.“We always wanted to work together with Lakehead University to deliver education through videoconferencing,” says Gibbet Stevens, KO Telemedicine’s education coordinator, noting that Lakehead University is already offering a pilot program for the 2007/08 school year that delivers two of the Native Nursing Entry Program’s six-and-a-half courses, Communication and Study Skills, by videoconference. The Native Nursing Entry Program was originally developed with the assistance of Nishnawbe Aski Nation in the 1980's.
