President Buller in the Strategic Plan introduction outlines “Now we are Promise to Stu- prepared for the next set of challenges: to be more innovative and entrepre- dents neurial; to further exploit the benefits of technology; to creatively engage our employees; to build more bridges with communities and employers; to see our Commitment 7: 28- graduates do meaningful work and have meaningful lives.” Lead the Conver- 31 sation The Book, in addition to our eight new commitments, lists our three strategic goals as: NEW!!! 32 PD Corner “1. Identify key strategies and metrics that position Centennial as a world class College: student engagement and citizenship; employee engagement; admin- istrative effectiveness; strategic partnerships. 2. Compete for students and partnerships internationally while staying strong and relevant locally. Note: the content of the SCHS Newsletter is based on contributions received. If you wish to contribute to the SCHS newsletter, please email at [email protected] 1 3. Be a leader – in our sector, in Canada and beyond – building on our confidence and bold aspirations.” Parallel to the development of the Book of Commitments (2nd Edition), has been the de- velopment of our Academic Plan – Leading Through Learning (2013-2020) under the guidance of our Vice President-Academic and Chief Learning Officer - Dr Sandra Mur- phy. This Plan is an “exciting new key directional document that provides us with the strategic direction for teaching and learning initiatives at the College. It charts the aca- demic direction that will enable us to be a leader in transformative learning, global citi- zenship, quality and accountability.” The Plan includes 9 themes which highlight our ac- ademic direction. Both the Strategic and Academic Plans utilized a comprehensive consultation process and area collaboration – I want to express my deep gratitude to you for providing input and support at various forums in creating these documents. At our School meeting in August, Dr Murphy introduced us to the new Academic Plan. We subsequently talked about bringing to life the various institutional academic priorities from a SCHS focused lens – many thanks for providing this valuable input. This feed- back was further discussed at the departmental level and has served to provide input for the 2014-2015 academic business planning process. The academic division business plan combines input from all schools including school level business plan items and the work of our academic support areas. Initiatives, activities and their associated metrics are very much tied to the academic themes from our Academic Plan mapped on the commitments from our strategic document – the Book of Commitments (2nd edition). The academic division business plan will then roll up into the College Business Plan for 2014-15. This is truly an exciting time for the College and our School. I am very much looking for- ward to having our School work collaboratively to bring the Strategic and Academic Plans to life over the coming years. Wishing you Season’s Greetings and a Happy New Year. With respect and gratitude, Dr. Rahim Karim Dean, School of Community and Health Studies SCHOOL OF COMMUNITY AND HEALTH STUDIES 2 New book release: Fundamentals of Addiction: a practical guide for counsellors, Edited by Dr. Marilyn Herie and W.J.Wayne Skinner, Foreword by Dr. Gabor Maté Helping people affected by addictions requires—like all good clinical practice—an ability to listen to clients with compassion and empathy, to foster their trust and a positive therapeutic alliance, and to show respect for the person’s autonomy. But it also requires a sophisticat- ed understanding of the increasingly complex issues with which many struggle, insight into how addictions affect specific populations, and information about the latest evidence-based screening, assessment and counselling approaches. Fundamentals of Addiction is intended as an introductory text for college and university addiction courses, and for general counselling and human resources courses that ad- dress addictions. This text will be a vital handbook for counsellors looking for up-to- date approaches to a range of addiction issues. It will also be of interest to practitioners across the spectrum of care as a practical guide to helping clients overcome the harm- ful, sometimes devastating, effects of addiction.

Duration of funded project: 12 months - (July 2013 to June 2014); Grant Amount: $24,340 The partners are Universities of Toronto, Calgary, Ottawa and British Columbia, as well as the Wilson Centre and McMaster University. This grant has a 10% success rate and we were one of the lucky few! Simulation-Based Assessment of Paramedics and Performance in Real Clinical Contexts Water Tavares, aCP, BSc, Vicki R. LeBlanc, PhD, Justin Mausz, ACP, Victor Sun, ACP, BSc, Kevin W Eva, PhD Commitment 2: Drive Innovation and Entrepreneurship Objective: The objective of this study was to seek valididty evidence for simulation-based assessments (SBA) of paramedics by asking to what extent the measurements obtained in SA of clinical competence are associated with measurements obtained in actual paramedic contexts with real patients.

The provincial average was 77%, we scored 83% (we have never been below the average). The provincial pass rate was 92% and we scored 98.8% (1 failure; that makes only 2 in the last 5-6 years).

SCHOOL OF COMMUNITY AND HEALTH STUDIES 4 Development of Mission and Value Statements for Occupational Thera- pist and Physiotherapist Assistant (OTA & PTA) Program To comply with the accreditation recommendation; mission and vision statements were de- veloped specific to the OTA & PTA program. On Sept. 16th a focus group was held to brainstorm ideas in order to develop and create potential statements. The focus group vol- unteers consisted of alumni (Tamika DeCaire, 2009 and Naomi McKerrow, 2010), new graduates (Angela Cardona and Giselle Thomas, 2013), and current students (Debbie Fitzpatrick, Tim Hoang, Debra Mason and Thusi Rajendram) All members worked collaboratively to con- struct key representative concepts in devel- oping both the mission and vision statements for the OTA & PTA program by addressing what is our purpose, what do we want to ac- complish, why we want to accomplish this goal, who would benefit and how we want to accomplish it. Next, we divided into two working groups with the task of taking all our great ideas to de- velop possible mission and value statements. Lastly we evaluated our “works of art”. Not surprisingly, our end results were a true combination, synthesis and refinement of every- one’s ideas. Recently, on Dec. 2nd, these recommendations presented to the Professional Advisory Committee where the Mission Statement was accepted and a vote was conducted to choose one of the four vision statements developed. The OTA & PTA Mission and Vision Statements are: Mission Statement To facilitate learning and growth of our diverse students into highly skilled, client- centred, and reflective rehabilitation practitioners. By providing current theoretical knowledge and practical experiences, students will become compassionate leaders who excel in the dynamic healthcare field. Commitment 3. Offer the Map and the Compass Vision Statement Improving people’s quality of life by training capable healthcare professionals.
