The University of British Columbia Medical Undergraduate Society’s Families as Partners in Care Club highlights the importance of family-centred care in medical student training and showcases medical students’ interest in gaining experience in this area. The club was founded in 2022 out of three medical students’ experiences caring for family members and realizing the importance of family-centred care in developing rapport with families, creating quality care plans, and encouraging open communication in challenging health care situations. Since then, the club has grown to more than 15 medical student members who learn about, promote, and share family-centred care principles.

The club offers resource lists for caregivers to connect with local organizations that support families and other caregivers, as well as family-centred care tips and approaches to share with other learning health care professionals. We hope to continue creating opportunities for caregivers and students to connect one on one outside of clinical situations, supporting the development of long-term strategies for family-centred care integration.

Call for podcast participants

The club would like to engage the greater BC medical community in creating podcast episodes in which medical students discuss family-centred care principles with caregivers and practitioners. If you are a caregiver interested in speaking with us, please contact us at info.ubc.fpc@gmail.com [14] to help shape how medical students and other health care professionals practise family-centred care.
