Education and Training

Welcome new learners

At Sinai Health, we foster a culture where everyone is a learner.

We believe that learning produces energy, fresh thinking and an exchange of ideas that benefits our hospitals, our students – and, ultimately, our patients.

We are committed to providing outstanding education to a broad range of health professionals. We also offer ongoing continuing education to our interprofessional teams and staff. Our clinical programs support learning about patient care through the entire life cycle, from birth to the complex care needs associated with aging.

Our specialized programs support training in highly specialized areas of clinical expertise for trainees from around the world. Our simulation centres offer innovative skills-based training and interprofessional team-based training focused on improving patient outcomes and experience.

Sinai Health is an internationally recognized academic health science centre that is fully affiliated with the University of Toronto. We also welcome students from more than 40 other post-secondary institutions in Canada and around the world.
