The Student-to-Clinician Task Force is always looking for new and enthusiastic students, clinician and educators with an interest in the transition process from education to practice.

They would love to build a partnership with your group and would be very happy if you would send a representative(s) to their next meeting on Sunday February 7th, 2010.

Please email Susan Tam (susan.tam[at]hamilton[dot]ca) with the name and contact info for your representative and she will connect with them to work out the details.

Here’s more info on the Student-to-Clinician Task Force:

The Student-to-Clinician Task Force was created in March of 2009 with the purpose of supporting interprofessional student leaders who are transitioning from being a student to a new graduate entering the workforce.

Currently, the group engages in monthly discussions through teleconferencing to identify and execute strategies to address group objectives including:

1. Locating and disseminating current information regarding the student-to-clinician transition (e.g. current literature, related organizations, etc.).

2. Synthesizing multiple professions perspectives regarding the transition process and from that, describing interprofessional transition experiences.

3. Creating resources for students and new graduates regarding the student-to-clinician transition, specifically a student/new graduate Champions Toolkit.

4. Advocating for curriculum changes that support students in their transition from student to clinician.
