Patient Care At CMCC
The Division of Clinical Education offers patients a wide range of clinical services in communities throughout the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Community-based clinics are located in a variety of settings allowing a wide spectrum of patients access to high quality, evidence based chiropractic care. CMCC operates eight teaching clinics as primary sites. Each clinic has attributes of location, facility or clinician that make it unique.
The external clinics provide an opportunity for interns to experience six months of clinical training in a setting that more closely resembles practice. Many clinics are multi-disciplinary environments where students and interns gain a broader clinical experience with more focused patient populations, including Toronto’s urban aboriginal community, adults and children who are behaviourally, mentally and physically challenged, and patients with HIV/AIDS.
Beginning in 2012, CMCC will have an expanded presence at the new St. Michael’s Family Health Team clinic, part of the Department of Family and Community Medicine at Toronto’s St. Michael’s Hospital.The new clinic is set to be an advanced model of integrated care and one of the first of its kind in Ontario. When the program is fully implemented, CMCC interns and residents will be onsite and integrated into the health care team of family physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, chiropractors, psychologists, dieticians, social workers, pharmacists, occupational therapists and dental hygienists.

Famous quotes containing the words patient and/or care:
“When little boys grown patient at last, weary,
Surrender their eyes immeasurably to the night,
The event will rage terrific as the sea;
Their bodies fill a crumbling room with light.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Feeling needy—mistaking vulnerability for weakness—doesn’t fit in with our image of what being a mother is all about. If we are needy, how can we care well for a much needier baby? There is a widespread feeling that we have to do it all alone, and if we don’t know something, or can’t manage it, or, heaven forbid, don’t want to, there is something lacking in our makeup.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
