There is a new program in Saskatoon that will better equip physicians to assess and treat mental health conditions in children and youth. The REACH Institute’s program is being presented by the Continuing Medical Education Division at the University of Saskatchewan. $400 thousand in funding is being provided by the provincial government. The three-day training program will bring 25 physicians from across the province for 16 hours of interactive course work. After that, there will be a six-month case-based distance learning program. In addition, four child and youth psychiatrists, one pediatrician, and four family doctors are working towards certification through the REACH Institute to deliver this course to Saskatchewan physicians.
