Praxis Lab
in Health Professions Education and Practice
Welcome to the Praxis Lab
The Praxis Lab is a space for health professions education & practice research labs working together at the University of Toronto and Toronto Academic Health Sciences Network. We bring together researchers who aim to bridge education theory with health professions education practice. Most of the members of the Praxis Lab work in a practical role in health professions education (e.g. as clinicians, educators, administrators) whilst also engaging in education science, thus enabling practical, evidence-informed change.
