Call for UBC Health Mentors

April 26, 2013 by DABC

UBC Division of Health Care Communication is seeking Health Mentors for the 2013-14 session.

“The Interprofessional ‘Health Mentors’ (HM) program is a unique educational experience in which teams of students from different disciplines learn together from and with a mentor. Health mentors can be adult patients / clients with a chronic condition / disability or caregivers who provide long-term care to a loved one with a chronic condition / disability. Mentors are ‘experts’ in their life and will help students to learn how health care providers can support people with chronic conditions / their caregivers.”
