I need advice about a medical problem. Can the CHN give me this advice?

I am interested in working with the Canadian Health Network. Where do I apply?
Since the Canadian Health Network is part of the Public Health Agency of Canada, the majority of jobs are in the federal government.
However, jobs occasionally do become available in the non-profit sector through our Affiliate
Organizations.
When full-time positions become available within the CHN Division offices at the Public Health Agency of Canada (in Ottawa, Ontario),
they are posted on the Government of Canada's Jobs web site at: www.jobs.gc.ca. We do not generally keep unsolicited resumes on file.
You can visit Charity Village for a list of job opportunities in the non-profit sector.

Our organization would like to reprint CHN articles in our employee newsletter. Do we need to get permission?
You don't need the CHN's permission to reproduce our articles if:
- It's for personal use. For example, it's fine to print articles for a class project or to link to CHN resources for use in a classroom.
- It's for internal use. For example, you can use CHN articles in an employee newsletter or on an employee Intranet.
If you do use our articles, we only ask that you:
- don't modify the text
- provide them at no charge
- identify the Canadian Health Network (CHN) as the source - there's usually a credit line at the bottom of the article
- kindly notify us in advance by sending an e-mail to: chn-info-rcs@phac-aspc.gc.ca.
When do you need to have permission?
If you're planning to use the articles for any purposes other than for personal or internal use, you need to get written permission.
For example, you need to have written permission if you want to:
- use CHN articles externally, such as in a commercial publication
- modify articles
- translate articles
- use any logos, symbols, photographs or any other graphic material.
In some cases, you will only need to get the permission of the CHN Division at the Public Health Agency of Canada. But it's possible
that in other cases, the material may be the 'intellectual property' of one of our Affiliate
organizations or Network Contributors. If
that's the case, you will need to get their permission before you can use the material. We can help you determine whose permission is
required.
For more information or to request permission to use or reprint CHN material, please e-mail us at:
chn-info-rcs@phac-aspc.gc.ca.
