Student Testimonials
Baycrest has a great working environment and I have always truly loved it here. There are many great scientists here who have a wealth of research experience, which is ideal for a trainee with a lot to learn! We also have access to a lot of great research facilities. The community is extremely warm and helpful! Walking through the halls of Baycrest, you will notice all the lovely artwork that really brightens things up. I feel truly fortunate to be a student at Baycrest!

I completed both of my Co-op work terms at Baycrest; the first one involved neuropsychological assessment and the second focused on cognitive rehabilitation. I found that the staff encouraged new learning, and I was always surrounded by other students who I could confer and share with. I gained experience with varied clients during both work terms, and also felt empowered that I could help them by providing knowledge or promoting their autonomy. The experience has also aided me in feeling more comfortable within a multidisciplinary environment. I feel that the skills I’ve gained at Baycrest apply to many situations and would be an asset to students interested in health care.

Baycrest provided a rich learning environment to apply my classroom knowledge to practical situations. Staff and residents were welcoming, helpful and created a comfortable space to expand my understanding of music therapy. I will take the skills I have learned from this valuable summer internship into my future professional work.
