Introduction

The Baycrest Centre for Learning, Research and Innovation is proud to be hosting the inaugural conference of the Ontario Centres for Learning, Research and Innovation in Long-Term Care. The focus of the conference will be on innovative educational approaches to learning in long-term care settings with an emphasis on translating knowledge to practice.
