Physician engagement is a cornerstone of SSC’s work. To succeed, we need physicians to participate, seek leadership training and opportunities, and contribute their knowledge and experience.
We do this through the following initiatives:
Physician Quality Improvement provides quality improvement training to physicians and supports their Learning Action Projects.
Spreading Quality Improvement fosters collaborative relationships that result in the spread of quality improvement work funded by SSC.
Physician Leadership Scholarship empowers physicians by providing them with leadership training of their choosing as approved by the SSC.
UBC Sauder Physician Leadership Program empowers physicians by providing them with accredited leadership training by the University of British Columbia.
Facility Engagement funds and supports facility-based Medical Staff Associations (MSAs) to increase engagement among members and with their health authority, to improve care delivery.
Improving specialist job satisfaction works to address physician burnout and improve provider experience of care delivery.
Supporting community based specialists explores how community specialists can be better integrated.
Enhancing Access Initiative improves patient access to consult and care by enabling specialist groups to implement a pooled referral model of service delivery.
Perioperative Clinical Action Network works to optimize patient health before major surgery for improved surgical outcomes.
Health System Redesign funds specialists and health authorities to collaborate on system change projects.
Our previous work
