Thanks everyone for your kind messages - thought I'd post a quick update.

Since being selected, I've had my orientation sessions, by Webex, over 3 days and it was fascinating. What I was doing before was fairly high level while this is more right at the service delivery level so that's interesting.

And I've been appointed to 2 other committees reviewing programs already. /That's neat because it's a chance to really get down and dirty and learn about the programs and give a patient perspective. Both committees so far have been around the use of technology in treatment, which is a bit of a pet interest of mine.

And as an added bonus, we get honorariums for meetings, so I'm probably going to pick up around 100/month which is huge on my current income, and I'm allowed to earn up to 200 before my disability benefits get clawed back.
