Throughout the year, the School of Health Sciences presents many exciting events designed to educate, enlighten and inspire students, health care practitioners and members of the general public.

Some highlights of the calendar include:

CARING WORKSHOPS

These workshops are designed to help caregivers acquire a better understanding of a variety of disabilities and diseases so they can provide appropriate assistance to the client who has an ongoing condition. Workshops also provide a forum where caregivers can network and communicate with each other. They are intended for Personal Attendant/Personal Support Workers, Health Care Aides and other interested caregivers.
