PPL Corner

Meet Julie Mathewson, the joint department’s Professional Practice Leader. She’s a nuclear medicine technologist who graduated from the Toronto Institute of Medical Technology (now the Michener Institute) in 1976. She spent 4 years at Mount Sinai before moving over to Toronto General, where she was the nuclear medicine clinical coordinator for 25 years before moving into the position of PPL. Julie’s role in the department is to help staff find answers to practice questions: am I allowed to do that? what does the college say about this? how does the legislation affect me? She is also involved in departmental policy review and revision, as well as tracking educational activities that our staff participate in. A big project at the moment is the Patient-Centred Care workshops previously carried out with Corwin Burton, the New Women's College Hospital manager.

Julie can be found in room 3-970 at PMH, by phone at 16-4750, or by e-mail PPLMedicalImaging@uhn.on.ca. Check out the Professional Practice section of our department web site.
