=====================================================================

Do you have a chronic condition or disability or care for someone who does?

The UBC Health Mentors Program needs volunteers to share their expertise with healthcare students. The program is a 9-month commitment in which adult mentors/caregivers meet 6 times over the year with a small team of UBC students.

Health Mentors are experts who want to share their experiences living with a chronic condition. Students are new healthcare professionals who are learning about patient-centered care and how providers can better support people with chronic conditions.

Health Mentors should be comfortable talking about their health condition. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, meetings may be held online or by telephone, as well as face to face. The program begins with an orientation on October 4th 2021 and runs to May 2022.

For more information and to apply, please visit the website or email [jen.macdonald@ubc.ca](mailto:jen.macdonald@ubc.ca?subject=Health Mentors Program).

Apply by August 15, 2021.
