Ottawa Inner City Health, in association with our partner organizations, proudly welcomes learners from a broad range of health-related disciplines. At an undergraduate level, learners from nursing, medicine, and social work frequently join us within the program from the University of Ottawa, Carleton University, and other sites across the country. Post graduate resident trainees in medicine, training as specialists and family practitioners also work within the program and we have been fortunate to have other learners from different disciplines such as advanced practice nursing. 

When attached to the program, those involved have learned not only the specifics of caring for homeless, but have achieved a greater understanding of life on the streets and the challenges this presents. 

There are many student elective opportunities at OICHI. For more information please call us 613.562.4500 or email inquiry@ottawainnercityhealth.ca. For all universities other than The University of Ottawa, students are to go through the AFMC Student Portal. For more information about the portal, contact University of Ottawa
