Three ways to collaborate
Path 1: Host a Clinic at Waterloo Pharmacy
Co-design and publish an Expert Clinic under the Waterloo Pharmacy banner. Peer-reviewed, evidence-based and backed by an established research program.
What you get:
- Co-authorship of an evidence-informed learning module
- Association with the University of Waterloo School of Pharmacy and our research program
- Access to learner outcome data and ongoing platform support
- Distribution to a growing network of practitioners and educators across Canada
Path 2: Build a Clinic for your institution
Work with our team to develop an Expert Clinic you own and deploy independently, within your curriculum, LMS or continuing education program.
What you get:
- A fully designed module built to your topic, audience and learning objectives
- Full ownership — deploy wherever and however you choose
- Instructional design grounded in health professions education research
- Optional ongoing consultation as the module evolves
Path 3: Research the impact
Partner with our team on scholarship, studying how AI-guided virtual patient simulation affects clinical reasoning, learner confidence and patient outcomes.
What you get:
- Co-investigator relationship with an established research program
- Opportunities for joint publication and conference presentation
Built with collaborators like you
One Expert Clinic is already live and two more are in active co-development, including a partnership with Indigenous collaborators through a Teaching Innovation Incubator (TII) grant at the University of Waterloo. Here's the current portfolio:
400+ learners trained, three educational awards.
Co-developed with Dr. Khrystine Waked, PharmD (Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor, University of Waterloo School of Pharmacy; family health team pharmacist in Kitchener).
With formal evaluation planned via RCT in Summer 2026. Co-developed with Indigenous experts Savannah Sloat and Dr. Cassandra McLelland, PharmD, ACPR.
Simulation platform partner: Ametros Learning.
Funders and grant collaborators
We actively seek partnerships with health authorities, professional associations and granting agencies interested in scalable, evidence-based clinical training. Particular areas of interest include under-resourced regions, advanced practice roles and emerging therapeutic areas. If you're exploring funding or program design in this space, we'd welcome a conversation.

No formal proposal needed. Reach out with a topic, a question or just a sense of what you'd like to build, and we'll figure out the right path together.
