The Health Student Caucus (HSC) brings together students who are involved with UBC Health initiatives, providing a structured forum to connect, learn, and lead. Opportunities to engage with UBC Health committees and projects are featured on the Interprofessional Education (IPE) Hub, UBCH networks, and through special interest groups.
The HSC meets twice a year—at the start of the fall and winter terms—to share perspectives, contribute to interprofessional education, research, and systems initiatives, and build collegial relationships across health and human service programs. Between meetings, members receive updates by email and may participate in leadership training. Students learn from one another, showcase their projects and initiatives, and make connections within and across UBC campuses.
The HSC fosters interprofessional collaboration by:
- Creating space for dialogue on interprofessional education and shared student experiences;
- Advising on UBC Health initiatives across campuses and distributed sites; and
- Supporting student leadership development and collaborative practice skills.
