An advocacy committee is making positive connections between medical students and the unhoused community
A group of medical students in Prince George is trying to make a positive impact with the city’s unhoused community.
“I think a lot of people care and want to do something, it's just knowing what to do, and I think [Kathryn] and I were in that boat for a little while.” About 60 students from the Northern Medical Program, nursing program, as well as physiotherapy and occupational therapy programs attended the workshops which spanned two days.
The weekend prior, the group held its first event, which was a warm clothing drive and community BBQ for and with the unhoused downtown. Medical students as well as physiotherapy students worked with the CINHS to set up outside the courthouse where they shared warm drinks, warm clothing, and good conversation.
“I think counteracting that is hugely important especially for people who are going into these healthcare professions where we will have so much influence over people’s care on their health journeys.”
