The CFPC E-Learning course provides those working with older adults the knowledge and skills needed to apply an evidence-based approach to the prevention of falls and fall-related injuries.  Participants learn how to design, implement and evaluate a falls prevention program tailored to their work or community setting.  The course uses multimedia presentations, interactive activities and a collaborative environment for journaling and forum discussions.  A facilitator moderates discussion forums and provides feedback on the many practical application exercises.

The CFPC E-Learning course was developed through a grant from the Population Health Fund of the Public Health Agency of Canada.  The course is available internationally in English through Distance Education at the University of Victoria, as well as in French through the Saint-Jean Campus of the Francophone University of the University of Alberta in Edmonton.

The Canadian Falls Prevention Curriculum (CFPC) was developed and pilot-tested as a training curriculum for those working in the area of falls prevention among older adults (those 65 and over). The CFPC uses the Canadian Injury Prevention Curriculum, developed by the Canadian Collaborative Centres for Injury Prevention, as its model.
