The Way Forward
Education, including formal education of learners, the maintenance of technical proficiency as well as ongoing personal and professional growth, are the responsibility of everyone at Sunnybrook. The purpose of our Sunnybrook Education strategy is to create an envelope or big tent, to provide guidance as well as to energize change and accelerate momentum for all those involved in education initiatives. In addition, the establishment of strategic directions, goals and action plans serves to focus and prioritize the available resources within the Education Program.
Our strategy is summarized below in brief statements of vision: our purpose; mission: the core work that we do; positioning: our value proposition; values: the important beliefs and behaviours that enable our success; and strategic directions: our five areas of focus. Each of these strategic directions is then explored in the subsequent section.
