What does our program look like?

A typical training session will run approximately 1.5–2 hours in length, depending on the number of students involved.

• The first half of the session will provide an overview of Alberta Netcare and privacy/security awareness.
• The second half of the session consists of hands-on training in a simulated Alberta Netcare Portal environment, accompanied by a case-based navigational exercise. Hands-on training requires a computer lab with a projector and screen.
• If an institution wishes their students to have live access to Alberta Netcare during their practicum placement this may be arranged if the students will be spending a minimum of 4 weeks at one site. 
• Additional materials can be requested by the institution.

How will students benefit? 

Alberta Netcare instruction will provide students with:

• “hands-on” experience in the classroom and/or placement practicum;
• the capability, competence and confidence to use electronic data and information as a practice- enhancing tool; and
• an understanding of how theory is represented in a “real world” context.

Why do we offer training to students?

Students training in health related professions are the next generation of Alberta Netcare users. These students are technologically literate and comfortable integrating technology with their lives and careers. They are future agents of change in their industry and will impact the technologies that support them.
