STUDENTS & RESIDENTS
with SWITCH believe in deeply. Tireless efforts are currently
being made to find more sustainable sources of funding for
the clinic
“SWITCH provides vital outreach services to members of
Saskatoon’s core communities that are valued highly by the
people who access our services,” stresses Reed, “and simultaneously it enriches the education of future health professionals while providing quality, truly inter-professional
health care to populations with complex health needs.”
“This cutback on hours has significantly impacted our student volunteers and our clients,” he adds.
If the passion from student leaders like Reed and Erika is
any indication, SWITCH will likely enjoy a promising future
despite its existing challenges. Currently, in addition to
funding, SWITCH is searching for family physicians to mentor the clinical team. Shifts run from 5:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. on
Mondays and Wednesdays but mentors are free to commit
as much or as little time as they can.
If you’re interested in becoming a physician mentor at SWITCH
or for more information, please contact Reed Gillanders at
[email protected] or visit SWITCH’s website www.switchclinic.ca.
