Reaching over 1400 people in the community and university, this newsletter promotes patient and community involvement in health professional education at UBC.
The Vancouver Statement is published!
The Vancouver Statement sets out priorities for the involvement of patients in the education of health and social care professionals.
It was developed by an international and multidisciplinary group of leaders in the field at the international conference on 'Where's the Patient's Voice in Health Professional Education?' in 2015.
Towle A, et al. (2016). The patient's voice in health and social care professional education: the Vancouver Statement. International Journal of Health Governance 21(1): 18-25.
The group will meet on April 28th to choose a name and develop a process for responding to the requests that are already starting to come in! Stay tuned!
