Healthcare Practitioner
As Healthcare Practitioners, health professional graduates integrate all of the graduate attribute
roles, applying their emergent profession-specific knowledge, clinical skills, and professional values
in their provision of high-quality and safe patient-centred care in diverse health and social contexts.
The Healthcare Practitioner is the central role in the SU FMHS graduate attributes framework. This
role defines the health professional graduate’s clinical scope of practice (Core Clinical
Curriculum), and draws on the competencies included in the six other, intrinsic roles
(Communicator, Collaborator, Leader, Health Advocate, Scholar, and Professional).
Communicator
As Communicators, health professional graduates form relationships with patients and their
families that facilitate the gathering and sharing of essential information for effective healthcare.
Collaborator
As Collaborators, health professional graduates work effectively with colleagues from their own, as
well as other health care professions to provide safe, high quality, patient-centred care.
Leader & Manager
As Leaders, health professional graduates engage with others to contribute to a vision of a highquality
healthcare system and take responsibility for the delivery of excellent patient care through
their activities as entry-level healthcare practitioners.
Scholar
As Scholars, health professional graduates demonstrate a lifelong commitment to excellence in
practice through continuous learning and by teaching others, evaluating evidence, and contributing
to scholarship.
Health Advocate
As Health Advocates, health professional graduates contribute their knowledge and influence as
they work with individuals, communities and populations to improve health. They work with those
they serve to determine and understand needs, speak on behalf of others when required, and
support the mobilization of resources to effect change.
Professional
As Professionals, healthcare professional graduates are committed to the health
and well-being of individual patients and society through ethical practice, high
personal standards of behaviour, accountability to the profession and society,
profession-led regulation, and maintenance of personal health.
