Over the course of the school year, the Rehab Therapy Student Society plans, organizes, and runs programs and events to benefit students in the School of Rehabilitation Therapy. From fundraisers to intramural teams, interprofessional events to Mentorship Programs— we are here to support you!
Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the many programs we offer... we look forward to seeing you out at one of our events!
KHealth Initiative
Founded in 2019, KHealth is an inter-professional organization in Kingston that connects students from the Faculty of Health Sciences to the community through volunteering. Students from medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, and physical therapy are involved in implementing novel ideas to improve the well-being and health of vulnerable populations.
You can find out more about our services below! They include:
We founded the Student-run Community Support Program, which offers weekly phone check-ins and free grocery deliveries to those affected by the COVID-19 crisis.
In the past, we organized other initiatives, most notably the COVID-19 Online Fundraisers, which supported local charities and food banks (e.g. Lionhearts Inc.), and 'Call your First Patient' Day.
KHealth is currently actively developing an Inter-Professional Community Health Program for Queen’s students titled “Introduction to Working with Vulnerable Populations in an Inter-Professional Setting”.
How to Get Involved with KHealth
We will be recruiting student leaders to be part of our executive team for the 2020-2021 school year. Stay tuned!
We are always looking for student volunteers throughout the year for our community health initiatives.
September 27 - Rehab students and professors came together to compete against each other in their first soccer match event. Acting as coaches, refs, commentators, spirited spectators, and amazing soccer players, the night was a successful one! Team Red beat the Wildcats 1-0 (whoo hoo)
