Upgrade your skills and expand your role as a health professional by helping patients and families navigate the complex health care and social services system. This Patient Navigation course offered by York University will empower you with the confidence and practical skills you need to act as an effective liaison between patients and healthcare professionals in your role as a navigator and/or clinician.
