This program aims to support education, training, certification, and career development in the field of integrated care. Applicants must complete and meet all criteria below to be eligible for review and award of CFHA financial assistance through this program.

Eligibility Criteria

• Income-Based Eligibility: Applicants must explain how the funding will help them.
