I'm looking for some education opportunities post-ACP other than the typical PALS/ACLS instructor stuff. I'm interested in online bachelor degree programs. What kind of things do you think helped most? Also I'm in Canada so some stuff that would be interesting might not apply to me but give it a...

Any other Canadians on the forum who recently wrote the COPR exam want to give me a few tips? I write my ACP exam on wednesday.
