Welcome students

Each year, Baycrest welcomes more than 1,400 students and trainees from over 22 health professions.

We partner with the University of Toronto and other schools to help students develop skills and gain real-world experience. This allows us to provide clinical and non-clinical placements for undergraduate and graduate students of many health-care professions.

I have always loved Baycrest. There are great scientists here who have a wealth of research experience, which is ideal for a trainee with a lot to learn! We also have access to great research facilities. Walking through the halls of Baycrest, the lovely artwork really brightens things up.

I completed co-op work terms in neuropsychological assessment and cognitive rehabilitation at Baycrest. The staff encouraged new learning, and I felt empowered to help clients by providing knowledge or promoting their autonomy. The skills I’ve gained at Baycrest apply to many situations and would be an asset to any students interested in health care.

Baycrest provided a rich learning environment to apply my classroom knowledge. Staff and residents were welcoming and helped to expand my understanding of music therapy. I will take the skills I have learned from this valuable summer internship into my future professional work.
