Meet Felicia Lau, our extern coordinator and advanced practice nurse educator!
Felicia a registered nurse, has spent over six years at Holland Bloorview, where her career has blossomed. Now serving as the extern coordinator and advanced practice nurse educator Felicia leads innovative programs that support and mentor clinical learners while integrating advanced care practices internally. 

As the extern coordinator, Felicia is responsible for leading the planning, education, practice and integration of the externs at Holland Bloorview in accordance with professional standards and in collaboration with clinical teams. This includes facilitating extern orientation; creating and adapting learning resources; being a conduit between unit leadership, collaborative practice and operations; and meeting with internal and external partners such as other extern coordinators and stakeholders. She also maintains a regular unit presence to support not only the externs and their ongoing learning needs but also assist the regulated health-care providers that mentor and work directly with the externs. 

The enhanced extern program is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and enables hospitals to supplement existing human health resources in a flexible way to meet each organization’s unique needs. Externs, who are clinical learners employed as unregulated care providers, are provided with experiential opportunities to learn, apply, and grow their skills under the supervision of regulated care providers. Holland Bloorview is proud to have implemented this program in the Fall of 2022. Since that time, we have welcomed over 60 nursing, respiratory therapy, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy externs, advancing our commitment to training the next generation of healthcare professionals and transforming care through education.
