Health DisciplinesProfessionals

Your knowledge and experience are valued at

St. Michael’s and we are seeking Health Disciplines

Professionals to become part of our team.

• St. Michael’s has 26 different groups of health disciplines.

The diversity and excellence of care that each of these disciplines

provides is a testament to their dedication to both personal and

professional development. These groups include:

• Interprofessional collaboration is at the core of how we provide

patient care. Professionals within Health Disciplines play an

important part in how we deliver that care.

• We believe in a shared governance practice model.

All professions are represented at our interprofessional practice

committee, giving each one a voice when decisions are made.

• Education is central to the success of St. Michael’s as an academic

health sciences centre. Our vision for Health Disciplines education

reflects a focus on the ultimate aim of high quality education:

Excellent patient outcomes through leadership in health professional education.

“As an occupational therapist, I help

people regain their independence

after having surgery by teaching

them how to perform daily activities

safely and regain functional

strength and endurance. I assess

cognitive functions and make

recommendations so that people

stay safe upon their return home.

St. Michael’s supports my work

which enables me to take a holistic

approach and focus on the person’s

individual goals. After discharge,

many patients and their family

members will visit or call to let us

know the patient is doing well and

express a heartfelt thank you for the

wonderful care they received.”

• The creation of the Keenan Research Centre and the Li Ka Shing

International Healthcare Education Centre, which together form the

Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, represents an exciting new opportunity

to embrace emerging trends in healthcare education. Health Disciplines

play an integral role in this vision and we are committed to the continuous

professional development of both our practitioners and our teaching

clinicians to help us achieve that mandate.

• Our innovative Office of Academic Affairs (Health Disciplines)

establishes relationships with academic partners, acts as a resource for

clinical educators, coordinates continuing education and professional

development opportunities for our educators, and plays an in-house

ombudsman role for addressing the needs of our students.

• Our clinicians and educators span the globe to share our scholarly

pursuits. For example, during a 12 month period, our clinicians and

educators delivered oral and poster presentations in 15 cities across

three continents.
