S01E09: Kate Savelberg - Nursing in Ontario and changes to institutional mandates

In this episode, we discuss nursing programs in Ontario with Kate Savelberg, a Senior Manager at the Centre for the Enrichment of Teaching and Learning (CETL) and Professor of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging Technology (NMMIT) at The Michener Institute of Education at UHN.Kate and Grace discuss the emergence of nuclear medicine and its current education at institutions such as Michener. They also discuss the difference in accreditation offered for nursing and medical imaging programs across Ontario and Canada - from diplomas to Bachelors degrees - and the "legitimizing" processes through which private institutions must traverse to offer them. Kate highlights how this can - and does - impact the future of healthcare in Ontario with how hospitals and medical centres hire based on not just accreditation and experience, but also geography.
