Doctor, Patient and Society 410 At Home Interview Project 2010

To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to you as Course Director of the Doctor, Patient and Society course in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia. One of the goals of the course and the Faculty is to provide medical students with greater contact with people in the community, leading to a fuller understanding of health issues outside of the clinic setting. We are in the process of arranging for the 258 first year medical students to conduct at-home interviews with individuals and family members of individuals with disabilities and chronic conditions. We hope that you will be able to assist us in this activity. More Info Here (pdf).

End the Pain Project and Free Toolkit

Phantom limb pain occurs for at least 90% of limb amputees and can be excruciating, interfering with all aspects of life. Following amputation, the amputee may continue to feel sensations from the missing limb. This suggests limb perceptions may be hard wired in the brain, contributing to sensations of pain that last long after limb loss.
