Apply to be an observer »
Sunnybrook offers educational observership opportunities for Canadian and international learners. Observerships provide an opportunity to gain insight into how health care is provided in hospitals and how various departments function. Observers are permitted to watch clinical interactions, procedures and participate in educational opportunities in their interested area. There will be no direct patient care engagement during the course of an observership.
