"As the Education Coordinator, I am looking forward to supporting the students at SAMIH and facilitating alignment across our two sites. I am also excited to explore ways to further address health inequities and enhance care for our diverse patient population through education and working closely with communities in Scarborough and the Greater Toronto Eastern Region." — Meredith Smith
“As an alum of the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus and a practicing physiotherapist at the Scarborough Health Network, I am proud to contribute to the expansion of physiotherapy education in Scarborough through my role as a Curriculum Facilitator. By advancing local learning and training opportunities, we lay the groundwork for the future growth of rehabilitation services and take important steps toward achieving more equitable access to care across the community.” — Marina Petrevska
"As Curriculum Facilitator, I’m excited to be making history! We are not just expanding to SAMIH, we are laying the foundation for a vibrant, dynamic ecosystem with a voice and energy all its own. I’m thrilled to bring my international lens to this work to strengthen connections across our curriculum and shape an experience that reflects the innovation and excellence of our students, faculty, and staff." — Roxanne Azoory
