Patient & Community Voices Workshops for UBC students: Fall Program

UBC students in human and health services programs are invited to register for upcoming Patient & Community Voices (PCV) workshops, each designed to deepen understanding of key healthcare challenges through the lived experiences of patients, caregivers, and community experts.

PCV workshops offer a unique opportunity to engage with real stories in interactive, interprofessional, small group settings. Students gain insights into the complexities of patient care, fostering collaboration across health disciplines and providing practical knowledge on diverse healthcare challenges.
