The Department of Speech-Language Pathology is proud to announce that student, Amy Wilson, has been named the recipient of the 2025 Susan J. Wagner Student Leadership Award in Interprofessional Education. This prestigious award recognizes students who demonstrate outstanding leadership, commitment, and excellence in advancing interprofessional education (IPE) and collaborative care.

Amy was honoured at the CACHE Awards of Merit Ceremony on April 29, held at the BMO Education & Conference Centre at Toronto Western Hospital. Hosted annually by the Centre for Collaborative Healthcare & Education (CACHE), the awards celebrate individuals across the health education and care spectrum—including students, educators, and professionals—who are making a meaningful impact in fostering interprofessional collaboration.

The Susan J. Wagner Award is presented to one graduating student from the University of Toronto’s 11 Health Sciences and Social Care programs. It acknowledges those who have gone above and beyond to promote teamwork, integration, and innovation in education and practice.

Amy’s recognition reflects not only her dedication to interprofessional learning but also the values that the Department of Speech-Language Pathology upholds—collaboration, person-centered care, and continuous improvement. Through her efforts, Amy has contributed to a culture of shared learning and mutual respect among future healthcare professionals.

Amy’s achievement is a proud moment for the Department and a reflection of the commitment our students bring to collaborative, high-quality healthcare education. We extend our congratulations on this well-deserved honour.
