What are the Sepsis Canada & LifTING Training Programs? These free health research training programs will focus on sepsis and life-threatening illnesses and provide training in research skills, anti-oppressive practices, & interdisciplinary teamwork, as well as mentorship and networking opportunities & training awards.

Who Should Apply? Healthcare professionals, patient and family partners, early-career researchers, healthcare professionals, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, research staff, knowledge translators, and community members.

Curriculum Overview: The program is delivered virtually over two years. Each academic year starts in September and ends in June. We expect trainees to invest about 70 to 80 hours per year (the equivalent of one full work day per month) to meet program requirements. Trainees will learn through preselected learning materials that can be reviewed individually (e.g., readings, podcasts), live interactive virtual sessions and workshops, and short individual or group exercises. Interactive virtual sessions are scheduled on different days and times of the week to promote equal attendance of trainees, regardless of location and work schedule.

Live Q&A Session on the Application Process: May 24th, 5 pm (EST). Join here: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83006550226
