If you want to become a research volunteer at St. Michael’s Hospital, you must first find a potential research supervisor through the Researcher or Research Programs sections of our website. It’s important to ensure you are interested in their research and the topic is relevant to your field of study or professional experience.
Download and complete the Research Volunteer Application Form.
Email the completed form directly to the researcher(s) you’ve selected. Keep in mind that many researchers can receive hundreds of inquiries regarding volunteer opportunities, so it’s important to have a good understanding of the researcher’s work before you contact them. If the researcher has a volunteer opportunity available, they will let you know.
If the researcher agrees to be your supervisor and you decide to work together, your supervisor will contact the Office of Research Administration at Unity Health to initiate the application process.
Once you’ve completed your registration with the Office of Research Administration, you must obtain an ID Badge in order to access all Unity Health locations. The Office of Research Administration will provide you with instructions.
