“Everyone knows there is a battle”: Colleges, Universities, and the Education of Occupational Therapists in Ontario, 1970 to 1985
Following the creation of Ontario’s Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology (CAATs) in 1965, an interested group of health care providers and educators in Hamilton began to advocate for the creation of a program in occupational therapy at Mohawk College. Historically, occupational therapy education in Canada took place within universities, so a college-based program was viewed as a significant development by the Canadian Association of Occupation…
Leslie A. Boehm, Toward the Health of a Nation: The Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation – The First Seventy Years
In a circular way, the former school building now houses the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, ensuring the memory and legacy of its former occupants are remembered.I would highly recommend this book for new settler scholars in Indigenous studies.Woolford is honest about his inexperience hosting survivor reunions and his reluctance to engage in work that only benefits academics rather than the Indigenous communities in their area.Woolford emp…
Sasha Mullally and David Wright, Foreign Practices: Immigrant Doctors and the History of Canadian Medicare
In the 25 years following Canada’s first steps towards national health insurance, more than 15,000 internationally educated physicians took their place in the health care system. From the late 1950s to the mid-1980s, these physicians provided critical labour in often underserviced areas and often under difficult conditions. Sasha Mullally and David Wright have produced an excellent history of this period and have ably demonstrated how immigrant d…

The Second “Great Transformation”: Renegotiating Nursing Practice in Ontario, 1945–70
In the period following the Second World War, hospitals in Ontario faced a shortage of nurses that prompted the renegotiation of nursing practice. This article examines the introduction of “certified” nursing assistants, a new category of worker who became the fastest-growing segment of the nursing labour force. Nursing assistants occupied an important position in the reorganization of nursing labour in these years, intentionally positioned betwe…
Recent Writing on Health Care History in Canada
These are halcyon days for health care history in Canada. One routinely sees articles pertaining to health in leading Canadian and international history journals. The Canadian Bulletin of Medical History is a vibrant and important vehicle and there are a growing number of monographs. This essay reviews several of the maturing content areas that now characterize the writing of health history in Canada, including hospital history, nursing history, …
Education, Expertise, Experience and the Making of Hospital Workers in Canada, 1920-1960
Beginning in the 1920s, many Canadian hospitals underwent an extensive period of modernization. A wide variety of workers, generally termed "allied health professionals," began to work alongside physicians and nurses. This paper examines the history of two such groups, x-ray and laboratory technicians, paying particular attention to the ways in which technical education was transformed and, through this transformation, new occupational identities…
Making Sense Of: Health, Illness and Disease
What has trust got to do with it? Cardiac risk reduction and family physicians' discussions of evidence-based recommendations
The management of patients through the use of evidence-based medicine has become the 'mantra' of medicine within many Western countries. Evidence-based medicine is aimed at providing the best objective, scientific care to all patients, and reducing as far as possible patients' risks of disease and complications from disease. Based on family physicians' discussions of the use of evidence-based recommendations for two cardiac diseases, this paper e…

Participatory research maximises community and lay involvement
Participatory research attempts to negotiate a balance between developing valid generalisable knowledge and benefiting the community that is being researched and to improve research protocols by incorporating the knowledge and expertise of community members. For many types of research in specific communities, these goals can best be met by the community and researcher collaborating in the research as equals. #### Summary points The knowledge, exp…
