This report includes a description of the methods used, the outcomes of the scan of existing courses, and an analysis of the results.

The Centre in Action
|
|
We will be reorganizing the NCCHPP website in 2010. We want your input so that we may provide you with better navigation, more clarity, and better access to resources. In order to have our site best reflect your interests and expectations, we hope that you will participate with us in this process.
If you are willing, we will ask you to respond to a short series of questions, once in January and once in late winter/ early spring, to reflect on how the proposed site works for you. These consultations could be by e-mail or by telephone, depending on your preference and would not take more than a few minutes.
Please click here to contact us with a "yes", or to find out more. |
