EDUBRIEFS

"Edubriefs" are brief educational overviews on a variety of critical care topics.  Edubriefs were developed to provide a quick and readily available reference for health care providers working in the CCTC of the London Health Sciences Centre (CCTC).  Available on-line, the goal is to highlight the key concepts or "need-to-know information" on an assortment of topics, that can be promptly accessed to support patient care.
