Patient Volunteers Needed!

The Health Sciences Experiential Learning Program (HscELP) is looking for volunteer patients to share their lived experiences with our medicine, nursing and rehabilitation students. Sessions are held in person on our campus clinical teaching sites or over Zoom. We are looking for community members willing to engage with students and share valuable insights from their own experiences with illness, whether as a patient or a family member and/or navigating the health-care system. Every perspective is valuable – yours included! If you are interested in being a volunteer patient, please contact the HscELP at hscelp@queensu.ca or by phone at 613-533-2380.
