Project Name: The SUPPORT-Pro Online Platform for Healthcare Professionals Treating Individuals Living With Type 1 Diabetes

Project End Date: September 2022

Website: https://type1better.com/en/get-involved/health-professionals/

The purpose of this study is to determine if the SUPPORT-Pro platform can increase healthcare professional’s confidence levels in treating type 1 diabetes (T1D) and to better advise their patients after 3 months of using the SUPPORT-Pro training platform. SUPPORT-Pro is an online training program that is accessible from any phone, tablet or computer with an internet connection. It will provide healthcare professionals training in treating adults with Type 1 Diabetes while reducing costs by using a web-based platform. If you have worked with at least one patient with T1D in the last 6 months, you might be eligible to participate. Your participation in this research project is voluntary and requires 6 to 8 hours of your time within the next 12 months. You may refuse to participate or withdraw from the project at any time, without giving a reason.

My name is Smitha Yaltho and I feel privileged to work as a family physician. Why? I believe that being a family physician has been the best job any physician can hope to have. I have personally grown in my own abilities and skill-sets with diverse opportunities in ambulatory practice, acute care and work in Facility Living.  Working in primary care has been exciting and has also afforded me tremendous opportunities for growth while still remaining stimulating in its complexity.  I believe that Family physicians are trusted partners in patient care –  every step of the way. 

Why are you volunteering to serve on this committee?
I currently have an interest in Physician Leadership and  trauma informed care.  I have served as a director with the Board of Directors with the Edmonton North PCN, Edmonton’s largest PCN. Thereafter, I have worked as the Director of Medical Services with CapitalCare (also based in Edmonton) for almost 6 years. It is my express wish that my contribution on the ACFP board of directors will highlight the excellence of family medicine that exists right here and now within the Alberta health care system. 

What about the ACFP’s work do you find most valuable?
Ability to highlight and further support the excellence of primary care right here in Alberta.
