This episode features Mandy Young, parent of a medically and behaviourally complex child and a long-time partner with the University of British Columbia’s Patient and Community Partnership for Education (PCPE). Mandy has volunteered for over a decade in the Interprofessional Health Mentors Program, both as a Health Mentor for health care students and as a Community Engagement Coordinator. Joining her is Lelainia Lloyd, a rare disease and disability advocate with 13 years of experience as a Health Mentor. Also with us is Pooja Kadakia, now a first-year internal medicine resident in Winnipeg, who joined the program as a student mentee three years ago. Together, they reflect on how the Health Mentors Program fosters interprofessional learning, reshapes students’ professional perspectives, and improves the way that healthcare providers can interact in the system with their patients and with their colleagues.
