• Collaborating effectively with interdisciplinary teams to support patient and family wellbeing across the illness trajectory. 
• Documenting clinical work in accordance with UHN standards and regulatory requirements.

This portion of the role supports educational, program management, and research activities within the G-CPC, including:

• Coordinating and facilitating supervision groups for trainees and early career clinicians. 
• Supporting the development and delivery of workshops, seminars, and clinical training programs. 
• Assisting with the creation and maintenance of online and digital educational materials.

• Liaising with internal, national, and international collaborators involved in quality improvement initiatives.
