Colleagues, we recognize the challenges that the last few weeks have brought and applaud the leadership each of you continue to exemplify in each of your clinical roles. In hopes of supporting you and collating materials in one place we have attached the following bundles below and hope you find them useful. We will provide updates if and when directions change.

More PPE Supplies are coming soon!
Work is being conducted to create a virtual inventory of PPE supplies on regional and provincial levels. Please review these documents on appropriate use and stewardship/conservation of PPE in your practice and with your staff. You'll soon receive a reporting tool to inventory the PPE you have on hand.

Practice Management, Billing and HR
You've likely encountered some practice management issues you never thought you'd had to deal with: business continuity, laying off staff, changing job descriptions, not being able to pay the bills, deciding if someone is ok to return to work after COVID symptoms as their employer. These resources will answer many of your questions. Billing resources are also found in this section.
