Student Practice Education

Orientation for Students and Faculty

Welcome

Vancouver Coastal Health is a centre of excellence, both nationally and internationally, providing a broad scope of specialized training and education - with our academic partners - for students and practitioners from all healthcare disciplines. We welcome students from British Columbia, other parts of Canada and the world.

If you are looking for a learning experience within Vancouver Coastal Health, check out our region and how to get a placement first.

If you are a student or faculty with a confirmed placement, Vancouver Coastal Health extends you a warm welcome. As part of our team that provides excellent quality care to patients, clients, and families, we hope that your time with us will provide a learning experience that is exciting and rewarding.

We recognize this is a busy time for you. Between juggling your academic work and your personal commitments, you now also need to prepare for your practice experience with us. To assist with your planning and to support a smooth transition to our organization, we have developed this online orientation manual. The manual provides an overview of a number of key components of VCH and draws your attention to key placement requirements, important information, policies, guidelines and resources. You will also get more specific information during your site orientation.

We have made every effort to cover the 'need to know' and most commonly asked questions but we may not have covered everything. Check back regularly as we are constantly updating this site. If you feel something is missing or have a question, please contact us.
