Our goal is to program provide a hands-on learning for future doctors, nurses, occupational and physical therapy students in a controlled environment. Faculty of Health Sciences clinical instructors use our teaching centres (Clinical Education Centre and the Clinical Teaching Centre) to offer creative clinical education that is based on patient-centered care.
The CEC enhances traditional opportunities for students to learn and develop their clinical and communication skills in a unique experiential. Key to our success is the role of Kingston citizens who willingly participate. Since its inception in 1972 as the Clinical Learning Centre, Kingston community volunteers have been helping to teach the health science students in a fully accessible facility specifically designed to replicate a variety of hospital and community-based clinical settings.
