Results of last week’s survey

Sixty percent (60%) of you responded favourably to volunteering in the development and implementation of the JCDA Oasis project. Volunteer efforts would mainly be in clinical content review (65%); providing expert responses on the Oasis Discussions website (46%); developing clinical content (23%); and moderating comments also on the Oasis Discussions website.

Respondents stated that monetary compensation would be a good incentive along with receiving CE points for developing or reviewing clinical content. They also mentioned that they were very happy to contribute to the project and that a “Thank you” would be an adequate incentive.

Twenty six percent (26%) indicated that the weekly Oasis Bulletin is Extremely Useful and 64% found it Very Useful.

It is our pride that 98% of the respondents said they would like to continue to receive the Oasis Bulletin.

We sincerely thank you for taking the time to respond to our survey. We continue to do our best to provide you with pertinent information that will help you in your everyday practice.
