  1. Strategic Planning at Sunnybrook • Creating a sustainable future for the organization and those we serve

  2. Chapter Four Academic Mandate

  3. next Academic Health Sciences Centre: What it Means As an academic health sciences centre, or “teaching hospital”, Sunnybrook is fully affiliated with the University of Toronto. Being a teaching hospital has an impact on everything we do: our commitment to providing the highest quality of care for our patients, our commitment to the students we educate and our research and innovations.

  4. next Education and Teaching • Every year, more than 4,000 learners choose Sunnybrook for the best teaching and clinical experiences. • The Hospital is home to the Sunnybrook Canadian Simulation Centre that teaches basic and advanced surgical skills to trainees at all levels. • Students come to Sunnybrook from 25 health care disciplines.

  5. next Research • The numbers tell an impressive story: 230 scientists conducting $122 million in research. • We are home to “FutureLab”, the Centre for Research in Image-Guided Therapeutics, where scientists are developing and testing basic science and medical imaging technologies and therapies. This includes new drugs, biological agents and imaging devices for the benefit of patients.

  6. next Innovation Examples of innovation are found throughout the Hospital every day, including these recent breakthroughs: Revolutionary scalpel-free brain treatment for “essential tremors” movement disorder, allowing a man to stop shaking for the first time in 10 years. 1 3 2 “Drano” for patients with clogged arteries: an enzyme is injected into a blocked artery, softening the plaque and allowing a traditional angioplasty. World first in breast cancer treatment: new way of carrying chemotherapy on the back of targeted therapy direct to the cancer, reducing side effects for patients.
