Research & Education

Health care is constantly evolving.

At Lakeridge Health, we’re dedicated to advancing it through education, research, and innovation, while improving the overall patient experience.

Each year, we welcome thousands of learners – from medical trainees to future nurses, technologists, and other health-care professionals who gain hands-on experience guided by expert instructors. These opportunities help shape tomorrow’s health-care providers while strengthening care for the communities we serve.

With more than 140 active research studies underway at any given time, our teams are advancing knowledge, testing innovative treatments, and developing new approaches that can transform care.

Education and training are supported by the Lakeridge Health Education and Research Network (LHEARN) Centre – our hub for professional learning – as well as the Central East Prehospital Care Program, which provides specialized training, medical oversight, and support for paramedics and community responders.
