Over the few short years since its creation, LinkingHealthProfessionals has grown significantly to incorporate additional modules, maintain a steady membership growth and to evolve to meet our members' system requirements.
LinkingHealthProfessionals provides healthcare members with the tools to get connected with one another, exchange ideas, and collaborate. Each member sets up their profile which the system uses to link mentors and mentees together.
Becoming a member allows you to create your own RSS feeds, send private messages, browse and request to join existing communities and should you so desire, become a mentor or request to be mentored. Members include students, physicians, nurses, allied healthcare professionals and administrators from everywhere and anywhere around the world.
BECOME A MEMBERCommunities provide a space where healthcare facilities (universities, hospitals, associations, institutions, etc.) can store and disseminate information to their staff/students/members through their online communities. Every community member has the potential to view news items, add postings, view scheduled events, access the document repository, participate in discussion forums and contribute to the community wiki.
Hospitals and organizations have created communities to assist in educating staff on important healthcare issues such as emergency preparedness and patient safety. The Centre for Excellence in Emergency Preparedness, St. Michael's Hospital, Lourdes College, the University of Toronto Centre for Faculty Development and many more organizations use the LinkingHealthProfessionals community to cultivate a culture of knowledge sharing.
Healthcare facilities can provide to a pre-defined population the capability to perform certain functions online, such as submit clinical appointments and evaluations (student and teacher), manage an e-store or conference, and most recently, match teachers with students, manage electives, and provide access to video recordings.
Through customizable modules, our partners are able to provide more efficient and effective means of collecting and dispersing information to all those involved, from students and faculty to, hospital administrators and accreditation boards. Our module partners include, to name a few, the University of Toronto Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, the University of Alberta Department of Family Medicine and St. Michael's Hospital.

Learning to become a nurse happens in a community! The nursing student is at the core of the academic journey, which starts in the classroom and continues with the help of teachers, clinical instructors, clinical advisors and faculty, in the clinical placement setting. Part of the appeal of learning nursing practices directly from the talented faculty, is actually connecting with them and learning in real time. It is necessary to strengthen this partnership between the student and teacher to increase successful impact and sustainability.
Canada's nursing education system is rooted in 100-year-old traditions, including a "time based" model of nursing education. Research shows that a system based exclusively on time is not optimal for meeting the education and assessment needs. Although it is recognized that time must continue to be one element in a comprehensive nursing education, the future will shift toward a balanced approach in which more emphasis is placed on regular assessment of performance.
Our self-assessment process is a collaborative one, students, clinical teachers and course coordinators share the same document.
