Last Call: 2024-25 Health Mentor Cohort 14 Applications Close August 15th

Do you know someone who would be a good health mentor? Encourage them to apply to the UBC Health Mentors program.

We need volunteer Health Mentors who live with a chronic illness, or their caregivers to share their healthcare expertise with new UBC health professional students to help them learn about patient-centered care. The program starts October 7, 2024 and runs until May 2025. Mentors should live in the lower mainland and be interested in working with small groups of students. We are also recruiting a few mentors from Vancouver Island and Northern BC, to participate either by Zoom or face to face sessions.

The Health Mentors program is committed to the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion. We welcome applications from visible minority group members, Indigenous persons, persons of minority sexual orientations and gender identities, and others with the skills and knowledge to engage with health professional students.

For more information on the Health Mentors Program or to apply, please contact jen.macdonald@ubc.ca.

Applications close August 15th.
