Hello students!
Are you in third or fourth year of an undergraduate health sciences or kinesiology program?
Do you have aspirations to become a health care professional?
We have an exciting opportunity for you!
We are person of colour owned group of physiotherapy and wellness clinics. Much like yourselves, we were inspired by the events of this summer. We wanted to use our platform and our business to bridge the gap of inequities for black, indigenous and people of colour, both as professionals and patients.
We have an exciting opportunity for aspiring health care entrepreneurs. The Future Faces of Healthcare initiative is looking for a student intern who is passionate to improve the accessibility of high-quality health services to marginalized communities and people of colour.
We are looking for an intern who self-identifies as a member of the black, indigenous or a person of colour.. Students will pitch us an idea that will address the inequities. The successful applicant will then help our team implement this legacy program into the community. During the internship, the successful applicant will have the opportunity to learn clinical, administrative and business skills from our team, while working to execute the project in 2021. A stipend will be provided to the successful applicant.
