Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The training that the students receive, just in and of itself, is not enough to launch them into a small community where there may only be two or three health care professionals. What we have in place is a mentorship program where an experienced nurse would go with the student and would work with them for a number of months. I am not sure if it is three or four months.
That would not necessarily give them the nurse practitioner credentials. It would not. That is another level of training and another level of education. It would hopefully give them enough support for those first several months that they would be able then to work in a small community setting. Thank you.
