Foundational work has been in place since 2005, allowing us to contribute to important areas of research on the "school-to-practice transition" for students in the Health Sciences:

• Advanced Technologies
• Simulations
• Competencies and Work Readiness
• Interdisciplinary Collaboration
• Patient-Centred Care
• Disposition and Self-Efficacy
