Overview

 Community Partners

One of the major strengths of the School of Nursing is the depth and scope of our strategic partnerships in education, research and service. The McMaster approach to health sciences education has resulted in numerous national and international partnerships; our nursing faculty members are often called upon to share the McMaster approach with other schools of nursing around the world. Our researchers work with local, national and international partners in broad-based collaborative projects. In addition, the School of Nursing has a long history of involvement with the local community, and we collaborate with our local partners to support community service and development in Hamilton.  

Here are just a few of our many partnerships:

• McMaster-Mohawk-Conestoga Collaborative Partnership
• Local clinical agencies such as hospitals and community clinics
• International clinical partners
• Local community and social service agencies such as REFUGE
• Outreach programs such as Health in the Hubs and McMaster Student Outreach Collaborative (MacSoc)
• Research groups such as The National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools (NCCMT), Health Evidence
• PAHO/WHO Collaborating Centre in Primary Care and Health Human Resources Capacity
• Building projects in countries around the world, including Haiti, India, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa and Trinidad.
