Opportunity Description:

The Health Sciences Experiential Learning Program, part of the Faculty of Health Sciences at Queen’s University, relies on volunteers from the community to assist in educating its students by participating in health-related interviews and assessments and allowing our students to learn, practice and hone their clinical and communication prior to graduation.   On December 1, our first year Nursing students are looking to work with pregnant persons and pediatric patients (newborns to 11 years of age with a caregiver) for basic, non-invasive physical assessments and subjective questions.   Pediatric assessments include listening to heart and lung sounds, observing play, assessing muscle tone and more. This is a non-invasive physical assessment. Students will work in groups of four with a clinical instructor assisting with these assessments.   The sessions will run at the Clinical Education Centre (CEC) located at 31 George Street on December 1 between 8:30 – 10:30 AM and again from 10:30 – 12:30 PM. Participants are not obligated to stay the full length of the session – participating in part of benefits our students!  Please contact us if you’re interested in working with our students. Parking will be provided on a first come, first served basis at our Centre.   To confirm participation or if you have any questions, please contact the Angélica Mendieta-Sweet at hscelp@queensu.ca  or by calling 613-533-6000 x78087.
