Go Team UWCFD!

My name is Della Norton and I am the Healthy Athletes Manager with Special Olympics Washington. Healthy Athletes is a Special Olympics program that provides free health examinations in a fun, welcoming environment that removes the anxiety and trepidation people with intellectual disabilities often experience when faced with a visit to a medical professional.

Special Olympics Washington is seeking Clinical Volunteers for our Healthy Athletes presence at our Spring Games in Tacoma, WA (Pacific Lutheran University) on June 1st, 2019. We will be conducting screenings in 4 disciplines: FUNfitness, Healthy Hearing, Special Smiles and Strong Minds.

Did you know that over 60% of Special Olympics Athletes use avoidant coping strategies?

Strong Minds is an interactive learning activity focused on developing adaptive coping skills. Competition provides a natural opportunity to develop active strategies for maintaining emotional wellness under stress, such as: thinking positive thoughts, releasing stress and connecting with others. Athletes learn about and try a few different active coping strategies as they move through the stations. Before exiting, athletes identify the strategies they like best and volunteers provide them with visual reminders to use these tools in competition and in daily life.

We are looking for Social Workers, Psychiatrists, Psychologists, students and general/wellness volunteers to join us and help make this screening a success. I’ve attached a flyer with more details and the link to sign up.

Dear Fellow Health Sciences Students,

I am reaching out as a representative of the Family Medicine Interest Group from the University of Washington School of Medicine about an exciting workshop hosting students from Federal Way High School (FWHS). This event is part of a pipeline program for FWHS students, many of whom would be the first in their family to pursue higher education and/or come from families of low socioeconomic status. Our mission is to inspire high school students from underserved minority communities to consider pursuing a career in healthcare with the overall goal of increasing the diversity of the healthcare field.  

We have the exciting opportunity to host about 30-50 students from the AVID program at Federal Way High School to join us at the University of Washington Health Sciences building for a suturing workshop, panelist discussion, and tour of our facilities. 

Our event is on Tuesday, April 30th from 9:15am to 12:15pm, with clean up before and after. 

We are looking for panelists and volunteers who are passionate about working with individuals who are underrepresented minorities and are interested in sharing their story and path into the medical field. Panelists and volunteers may be from the fields of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing, Social Work, etc. 

Panelists: We need student panelists from different health professions to answer questions about your unique path to your profession, barriers you faced, and how you overcame them. We also hope to include a brief discussion of social determinants of health and your experiences addressing social issues in your healthcare field.

Volunteers: We need volunteers for multiple aspects of the event including set up/clean up, helping students during the Resident-lead suture workshop, and leading students on mini-tours of the Health Sciences building. Note that all volunteers should be open and eager to answer questions about their respective career path. 

This event is focused on students who are underrepresented in Medicine. We are looking for panelists who come from diverse backgrounds and experiences who can share their unique journeys to the healthcare field. For those who are interested in serving as a panelists, please include a short summary of your experiences prior to your chosen health professional school and why you are interested in being a panelist. This can be very brief, 2-3 sentences per question. We have limited space for panelists and may not be able to accommodate all panelist requests. If we are unable to accommodate your request, you may also consider volunteering for the event. If you are open to being a volunteer or a panelist, please include this in your email. 

If you are interested in serving as a volunteer or panelist for this event, please email me at hkvuong@uw.edu.

This is a great opportunity to empower high school students considering the healthcare field and chat with them about just how awesome your profession is!

Thank you!
