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.”

Researchers at the University of British Columbia are interested in talking to patients and/or their family members from diverse economic, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds about their views on making important and/or difficult healthcare decisions.
You may be eligible to take part in the study if you are an adult who has a physical disability and/or chronic health condition and have engaged in complex decision-making about your own healthcare, or has been a surrogate decision maker on behalf of a loved one.
The study will involve one 45-60 minute (longer if interpreters are used) in-person interview at a time and location that is convenient for you. You will receive a $15 gift card in appreciation of your time and participation.
