Non-Medical Learners at Bruyère Health

 

Bruyère Health proudly welcomes a wide range of non-medical learners who bring fresh perspectives and energy to our teams while gaining valuable real-world experience. Non-medical placements help us build future capacity in healthcare, research, and essential support services.

These placements are coordinated in partnership between local departments and the Office of Academic Affairs (OoAA) to ensure a safe, supportive, and high-quality learning experience.

 

Who Are Non-Medical Learners?

 

Non-medical learners at Bruyère may include:

 

 

What You Need to Know

Eligibility & Affiliation:

Non-medical placements must be part of an approved academic program or course requirement, supported by an active Affiliation Agreement between Bruyère and your educational institution. 

 

Placement Coordination:

Some programs at Bruyère Health, like Nursing, already have direct placement processes through their schools or program coordinators. If you’re not sure where to start, or your program doesn’t have an existing process with us, please complete our General Placement Request Form in the 'How to Request a Placement' section below. We’ll make sure your request reaches the right department or placement coordinator and guide you through any next steps.

 

Pre-Placement Requirements:
All non-medical learners must complete core onboarding and meet standard pre-placement requirements (e.g., police record checks, immunizations) as outlined in our Affiliation Agreements and internal policies. For a full list of requirements, please see the onboarding checklist. 

 

Orientation & Onboarding:

Depending on your discipline, you’ll complete a core Bruyère orientation that includes reviewing important information about Bruyère Health, health and safety learning modules, relevant policies, and — in some cases — classroom-style orientation sessions (e.g., Nursing) and Electronic Patient Record (EPR) training. Your placement contact will guide you through the steps and make sure you have what you need to get started.
