What does it mean to be a Patient and Family Partner?
A Patient & Family Partner's experience will vary depending on the type of course or event that they volunteer in. Some experiences take place in a classroom and may involve speaking to a large group. Other opportunities involve pairing up with students 1:1 to help them understand what it is like to maintain optimal health in a complex health system. The role of the Patient & Family Partner can vary from program to program, and time commitments can vary from brief, one-time discussions, to longitudal mentoring.

Ways to Engage
My hope is that in sharing my experience I will provide food for thought and broaden the horizons of the providers, teachers and students I work with…. I am tremendously excited to be working with the physicians of tomorrow, playing a small part in their medical education. - Patient Partner
