At Evolve, we have one mission: Inclusive Care. We believe that every patient deserves access to quality care, and that every clinician should have the opportunity to provide it.

As a rural or remote community practitioner, your landscape is different. You’re not only supporting the health and wellness of your community, you’re an essential part of it. You’re sometimes the only one. Your caseload is full and complex, yet your resources are often limited and inaccessible. And opportunities for personal and professional growth aren’t easily available, nor are they specific to you, your needs, or your practice. We get it. And we’re here to help.

Our mentorship programs offer a virtual approach to professional development, allowing you – regardless of location, resources, or available services in your communities – the opportunity to grow. Whether you are new to practice, working on your own, or providing care in one of our country’s remote communities, this program is built for you.

We’re evolving patient care, in how we define it, and how we deliver it. Join us!

What is EVOLVE mentorship?

Join a community of clinicians. Connect. Collaborate. Ask questions. Share resources. Learn where, when, and how suits you best.

Personal and professional growth no longer comes at the cost of time away from your practice or patient care. With Evolve, you’re among like-minded professionals working together to grow themselves, their practice, and their skill set.

Evolve’s Mentorship Programming is unique:

  • A FRESH APPROACH

    Experience mentorship-driven and collaborative learning.

    To truly make health care accessible, we had to evolve our idea of patient care, and how we deliver it. We had to think bigger. We had to think in terms of community and collaboration, and how to make proven resources like mentorship, not just accessible, but commonplace. Our mission drove our approach: mentorship and collaboration are at the core of all programs and integrated into the learning and development process.

  • INTERACTIVE ONLINE LEARNING

    Bring your unique practice setting and challenges to every interaction.

    Programs are purpose-built for not just an online approach, but an interactive one; bring your unique practice setting and challenges to every interaction. Joining Evolve means joining a community of clinicians, who together, connect, collaborate and support one another from the Foundational Concepts Course and beyond.

  • HYBRID MODEL

    Learn with the flexibility you need, on and offline.

    Programs combine both live sessions and self-paced content giving you the freedom to learn where, when, and how suits you best. All courses include live online discussions and mentoring, as well as self-paced recorded lecture content.

Mentorship doesn’t just shape clinicians.

It shapes communities, and patient care as a whole.

  • Strengthen your clinical reasoning skills

    Strengthen your clinical reasoning skills. Feel confident in various means of critical reflection and reflective practice. Develop your expertise, confidence, and advance your career.

  • Find your place among a community of likeminded professionals

    Find your place among a community of likeminded professionals, who from the onset of the Foundational Concepts Course, will be an ongoing resource and source of support.

  • Small batch learning

    Courses with fewer participants not only learn more, they learn faster. They share more ideas, interact with one another, and collaborate more freely creating a fundamentally different learning environment. We limit enrollment to no more than 20 participants per course to ensure a focused approach.
