As an academic health sciences centre, our mandate is to discover, apply, evaluate and translate knowledge; ensuring our findings benefit patients now and in the future. To achieve our mandate, we have identified eight Areas of Focus; Brain Sciences Program, Holland Musculoskeletal Program, Odette Cancer Centre, Schulich Heart Centre, St. John's Rehab Program, Trauma, Emergency & Critical Care Program, Veterans & Community Program, and Women & Babies Program. These strategic programs serve targeted patient populations, providing multidisciplinary and innovative care.
