Students in the medical administration program at Assiniboine College are being trained on a platform that is used in modern health-care settings.
LibreMD is a certified electronic medical record software in Manitoba and its company leaders are providing free access to the program.
Students enrolled in the program will use LibreMD to simulate real-world clinical workflows, giving them experience in electronic record-keeping, appointment scheduling and patient data management.

Using the software will give students seamless entry into the health-care industry once they graduate, said Jana Sproule, chair of media and office technology programs at Assiniboine College.
“This donation helps bolster our commitment to producing job-ready graduates,” Sproule said in a news release.
“LibreMD offers students a practical learning environment where they can build the confidence and technical skills needed in medical offices, hospitals and clinics. We’re incredibly grateful for this partnership and the experiences it will provide for our learners,” she said.
The goal of LibreMD has always been to create accessible, efficient tools that support health-care professionals, said CEO Ross Gibson.
“By bringing this software into the classroom, we’re giving students the opportunity to become fluent with systems they’ll be expected to use in the field. It’s about giving them a head start on their careers.”
Company co-founder Darcy Bell said workplaces are looking for graduates who are ready to contribute from Day 1.
“By gaining early experience with industry-relevant software like LibreMD, students will be better equipped to meet those expectations,” said Bell, LibreMD’s director of operations.
The Brandon Clinic Medical Corporation uses the LibreMD portal. It is a secure website within the network that allows a physician to send health information electronically through a link sent to a patient’s email, according to the Brandon Clinic’s website.
The three main aspects of the patient portal are appointment reminders, patient messages and patient forms.
Assiniboine’s two-year medical administration diploma program prepares graduates to perform administrative duties in doctor’s offices, hospitals, medical clinics and other medical settings.
