About Placement at Baycrest

For all student placements at Baycrest, a current Affiliation Agreement must be in place. An affiliation Agreement is a formal agreement that is designed between Baycrest and an Academic Institution to allow students from the institution to come to Baycrest for Academic placement (clinical and non-clinical placement). To access a student placement at Baycrest, you must be a student registered in any of our affiliated universities or colleges
 
If there is no Affiliation Agreement, a written request from your institution should be sent to the Centre for Education and Knowledge Exchange in Aging regarding a placement at Baycrest. This must be done at least 3 months prior to the placement start date.
 
To determine if your institution has an affiliation agreement with us please contact your academic institution directly.

Please note that we do not accept independently organized placements/rotations. All requests must be submitted by the university or college education coordinator/manager.
