Help Medical Students Understand the Experiences of Families of Children with Disabilities
The Rutgers Boggs Center is offering families an opportunity to participate in the Seminar on Family Centered Care & Developmental Disabilities, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School!
The seminar is held 6-8 times a year. Families can host as often as they want, usually 2-4 times per year. Most visits last 2-3 hours. Start and end timing are flexible. All members of the family are welcome to participate. Host families will receive a $100 dollar stipend for each group of students they host through support from the New Jersey Council on Developmental Disabilities.
The role of families is to meet with a small group of medical students, either in your home over dinner, or by Zoom. Share your family’s experience with raising a child with a disability and interacting with health professionals. Contribute to the education of future medical professionals!
For questions or submitting an application, please contact:
Carrie Coffield, PhD Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, Director of Preservice Training Director, NJLEND Phone: 732-235-9329 E-mail: [email protected] |
