HOPES Student Run Clinic

08/07/2025

🎉 Exciting news! Our work with HOPES has been officially published in Dalhousie University’s Healthy Populations Journal!

This student-led, peer-reviewed journal just released Volume 5, Issue 1, with a spotlight on Interprofessional Health Education and Collaborative Practice (IPHECP), something that’s at the heart of what we do. 💙

Earlier last year, our former president, Chloe Blackman, took the lead on putting together a piece that highlights HOPES and the impact of our work. After being peer-reviewed and a few edits, it was officially accepted and published on page 7 of the issue! 🥳

Hello everyone!

HOPES Health Centre is looking for new volunteer executives for the next academic year. HOPES is a student-led, interprofessional organization dedicated to providing health services to marginalized communities in Halifax. With the pandemic, we've had to close our weekly clinic, but we've been keeping busy with donation drives, partnering with non-profit organizations in Halifax, updating our online presence, and planning for the future. We're very close to re-opening our weekly clinic and will need our new executives to take up several roles and responsibilities in the near future.

Our volunteer executives are responsible for liaising with their respective faculties and students and representing our student volunteers. They will also be asked to help with the day-to-day running of HOPES by spearheading one of the portfolios which can include: finance & accounting, outreach, preceptor coordinator, volunteer coordinator, and more.

Currently, we are accepting applications for the following positions: Vice President, MHA Representative, Pharmacy Representative, Dental Hygiene Representative, and Social Work Representative.

If you have questions about the roles or would like to express interest in joining, please contact us at outreach.hopessrc@gmail.com so we can provide you with the next steps and role descriptions.
The deadline for applications is Mar 14 at 6pm.

We look forward to hearing from you!
