The purpose of this project was to create an interprofessional virtual simulation-based learning module offered at a distance that allows learners educated in French or English to prepare themselves to better meet the health needs of Francophones in minority situations. The virtual simulations allow learners from several health and social services disciplines to practice interprofessional collaboration as well as ways to provide quality services to this francophone population.
The active offer of French language services is crucial for ensuring equitable access to healthcare services for Francophone patients in Canada. French is one of Canada’s two official languages, and healthcare providers need to offer services in both languages to meet the needs of the diverse population they serve. The project’s overarching goal is to raise awareness of the importance of offering French language services.
