Job Opportunities

Research & Teaching

OICHI is committed to building the evidence for the effectiveness of the programs and services it offers. We partner with the University of Ottawa and the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute to ensure that our research meets quality and ethical standards. See our Data & Research page under the About Us section for some of our latest research activities.

Education

Ottawa Inner City Health, in association with our partner organizations, has welcomed numerous learners from a wide variety of health related disciplines. At an undergraduate level, learners from physiotherapy, nursing and medicine frequently join us within the program from the University of Ottawa 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 OICH.

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
