Participants needed—doctors & nurses with a disability

January 27, 2016 by DABC

The UBC Inclusive Campus team is currently recruiting participants for a CIHR (Canadian Institutes of Health Research) funded project that examines barriers and facilitators for students and clinicians with disabilities in healthcare professional programs and practice settings.

In particular, we are looking to speak with clinicians from Medicine and Nursing who live in British Columbia and identify as having a disability. An identified disability can be visible or non-visible (e.g. learning disability, physical disability, mental health disability).

There are a series of 3 interviews (45 – 60 minutes each) and you will be reimbursed $45 for your time, paid in incremental fashion.

Confidentiality will be strictly kept.

If you are interested or have further questions, please contact Courtney at
court.rogers@alumni.ubc.ca to let us know!
