PEGASUS Institute invited attendees to the launch of the Francophone chapter of the IEHP project. The purpose of this event was to present the project and to invite anyone interested in joining the network as a mentor, mentee, or supporter of internationally educated healthcare professionals (IEHPs) in their efforts to practice in Canada.

One aspect of the project was the provision of resources and opportunities for IEHPs. The event featured the participation of SÉO, who presented the CarriElles Santé project, aimed at French-speaking and bilingual newcomers who were internationally educated health professionals (IEHPs).
