Build a Clinic with us

Bring supervised, simulation-based learning to your learners Whether you have a clinical topic that deserves better teaching, an institution looking for a new training tool or a research question about how simulation changes practice, there's a path here for you.

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.

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.

Tell us what you're thinking

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.
