The X-Change

The X-Change is a series of rounds that go beyond traditional Grand Rounds to engage health-care professionals in driving change in health care. Starting with ‘why’ and opening up the ‘what’ and the ‘how,’ we explore opportunities to change how we provide care. Each X-Change session is followed up with a podcast with the presenter(s) to discuss their journey in more depth.

The X-Change has been co-developed by Interior Health and the Canadian Medical Association. For more information about the X-Change, or if you have any questions, please email MedicalStaff@interiorhealth.ca
