Observerships
Observerships provide opportunities for learners to shadow a clinician and gain valuable knowledge about practising in a given area of care.
At Sinai Health, we welcome observers from across Canada and around the world. Observerships may be open to medical students or practising health-care providers who would like to learn more about an area of specialization.
Observers can expect to:
- Observe clinical interactions and procedures
- Participate in educational opportunities, such as teaching rounds
- Participate in an exchange of knowledge
Please note that observers are not permitted to participate in direct patient care or to scrub in during surgeries.
How to apply for an observership
Prospective observers first need a Sinai Health employee or physician to sponsor their application.
The Sinai Health sponsor should then apply directly to the departmental office for the relevant area of care. We do not accept applications from prospective observers.
