WINNIPEG -- The University of Manitoba announced on Monday that it is creating a new resource hub to help internationally trained health-care professionals to work in Manitoba. The Government of Canada’s Foreign Credential Recognition Program is providing more than $735,000 to the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences to create the Access Hub for Internationally Educated Health Professionals. “It’s really a way of helping those health professionals who’ve attained their training and certifications outside of Canada get into the health-care environment in Manitoba,” said Natalie MacLeod Schroeder, director of the hub. “We all know there are long processes of certifications that everyone has to go through and for people trained outside of Canada that can be a complicated process to get through. They don’t have the same access to resources as those who are Canadians, just because they haven’t gone through our systems. So this hub is really trying to get a group of professionals that really haven’t had access to other programs into the workforce.”
