  • Partner with academic institutions and SHN Research Institute to advance innovation, research, and evidence-informed practice
  • Build strong internal and external partnerships, including with community providers and regional health system partners, to improve care integration and patient transitions
  • Demonstrate commitment to and embed the principles of Patient and Family Centred Care in all aspects of service delivery

Requirements:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
