The time commitment for the Intensive Course in GCRA is four to six hours a week, consisting of live Zoom sessions for 1.5 hours each Friday, GCRA Case Conferences, assignments, and viewing course modules.
In addition to thirteen weeks of Distance Learning, the full course experience includes all the above web-based sessions, activities, and resources followed by four days of in-person interactive Clinical Skills Development Workshops to translate the course experience into clinical practice.
A Distance Learning only track without the four-day in-person workshops is available for those who cannot join us for the full course experience.
Institutional support for course activities and time commitments should be indicated in the Letter of Support submitted with the application.
