International Education

Launched in 2009, the International Learner Program (ILP), certified as a Leading Practice by Accreditation Canada offers international healthcare professionals the opportunity to take part in knowledge acquisition through observation or practice experiences, including hands-on training related to specific areas of practice.

The ILP is unique amongst educational programs in North America, as it provides its practice stream participants with the chance to engage in supervised patient care. Through this program, international learners develop their own learning objectives, are mentored by expert staff, and receive one-on-one knowledge translation coaching, in addition to formative and summative evaluations, and a nine to twelve-month follow-up assessment.

Through partnerships with departments across the hospital, the University of Toronto and other academic institutions, SickKids can ensure that organizations and their healthcare providers are able to access to evidence-based, high quality paediatric subspecialty education.

Educational content can be delivered virtually, in our partners’ local practice areas, or via in-person sessions at SickKids in Toronto.
