Are you interested in sharing your experiences and expertise with UBC health professional students? The Division of Health Care Communication at UBC is currently looking for individuals living with a chronic condition or disability, or caregivers who provide care for a loved one with a chronic condition or disability, to become health mentors. Health mentors are volunteers who meet with a group of 4 health professional students over 16 months (Sept. 2012 – Dec. 2013), and share their experiences with the healthcare system and what it means to live with a chronic condition or disability. Participating student programs include: dentistry, dietetics, medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, pharmacy, physical therapy, and social work. By becoming a health mentor, you will: contribute to the education of the health professionals of tomorrow, be a pioneer in this exciting new program, meet students and other health mentors, and help others to understand what it is like to live with your condition.
