The Learner in Difficulty modules, and their supplementary resources, were created by Brenda Hardie and Bill Upward of UBC’s Department of Family Practice in the Faculty of Medicine.

In order to facilitate these modules, the following resources are provided: Facilitation Guides, PowerPoints that correspond to the facilitation guides, a Learning Plan Template, the Lacasse Educational Diagnosis Wheel, Case Studies, and Role Play Cards.
