Calling student competitors and faculty mentors for UAHS CLARION Case Competition

2016 UAHS CLARION Case Competition

Application deadline: Friday, Jan. 29, 2016, 10:00am

The University of Arizona Health Sciences (UAHS) will hold its first annual local CLARION Case Competition on Thursday, March 10, 2016. The competition will include teams of four students, with at least two different disciplines represented. Student teams are given a fictitious, yet very realistic, complicated case and are charged with creating a root cause analysis. Student teams will have several weeks to prepare their analysis. Teams will be randomly assigned. At the UAHS local CLARION Case Competition, each team will present their analysis to a panel of interprofessional judges that evaluates each team's presentation, analysis, and recommendations in the context of real-world standards of practice.

UA health professions students as well as law students are invited to apply for the competition.

You may alternatively copy and paste the student application link into your internet browser:
https://uarizona.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_5cHX4e6KxXsbTlH

Health professions faculty and clinicians are invited to sign up as team mentors. The role of mentors is to guide teams to resources and help with presentation, communication, and organizational skills. Mentors are NOT allowed to help the students with the case analysis.

You may alternatively copy and paste the mentor sign-up link into your internet browser:
https://uarizona.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_9BqHGNtjbob2NEh

Prizes: The winning team of the UAHS Case Competition will be sent on a funded trip to Minneapolis, Minn., to compete in the National CLARION Case Competition, April 14-16, 2016. Scholarship prizes will be awarded to the top three national teams.

Please refer to the attached case competition overview for additional details.

Subject recruitment announcement

GREAT PART TIME JOB RELATED TO HEALTHCARE FOR SPRING SEMESTER, SHORT TIME BLOCKS AND CLOSE TO CAMPUS

Are You Interested in Being a Caretaker? Do you enjoy helping others? Do you have a positive attitude? Do you want to get paid to help out a fellow student? If you answered yes to all of these questions, then I have a job opportunity for you!

My name is Carol and I am looking for a personal assistant for the summer! I am looking to hire a part time personal assistant beginning the weekend of January 9th Spring 2015 semester . I have a form of MuscularDystrophy that limits my ability to perform many personal tasks on my own. This unique job opportunity is a great fit for students who are interested in physiology, nursing, physical therapy, or any other field of healthcare.

Here are some brief answers to questions you might have:

What type of personal care will I be doing? Since I use a power chair and have very limited mobility, you will be assisting me with many of my daily activities. This includes, but is not limited to: dressing, bathing, picking items off the floor, using the restroom, brushing/styling my hair, etc.

How many hours per week will I be working? 6-10 hours per week, weekends included.

Do I need experience in caretaking to have this job? Not necessarily. However, any other work experience will be taken into consideration.

Do I need to be trained in any way to have this job? No. You will be trained as a personal assistant through a local vocational rehabilitation program. You will be a certified in CPR, first aid, and basic personal care. Cost of training/certification may be your responsibility.

Also, be aware of the following: Once you have been selected to be a personal assistant for me, you must go into the Better @ Home office to get paperwork. You must pay for part/complete the items listed in the paperwork. Between the time that you are selected and the time you get the paperwork verified to be a paid PCA, your work time will be considered unpaid, volunteer hours. This process can take a few weeks and depends on when you go to the office to begin the verification process. If you complete it over the winter break, this should not be an issue come spring semester.

 ***NOTE: should you be selected, training for this position is mandatory. It is a one-time class.Classes are only held Tuesdays, 9am-12pm . Do not apply for this position unless you are able to make time for this class!***

In addition to being trained as a caretaker, you will, of course, learn how to interact with a person who has a physical disability on a one to one, personal level. I am very flexible and willing to work with you! This is a wonderful academic, work, and life experience!

If this sounds like something you are interested in, and you would like to apply for this position, please email me by 5pm December 23rd  at carollipari@email.arizona.edu  to get emailed the application and schedule a telephone interview.

Elder Rehab (Tucson) seeking interns

Two scholarships for undergraduate students

The “Si Se Puede” Medical School Application Scholarship was developed in 2004 to assist pre-medical students with the financial burden of applying to accredited U.S. Medical Schools. Personal qualities, financial need, academic and extracurricular achievement will be considered in the selection process.

Deadline is January 15th, 2016.

The Cinthya Felix Scholarship was developed in 2011 to assist undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students who are interested in pursuing a career in medicine. Cinthya Felix grew up in East Los Angeles, graduating from UCLA in 2007 with a degree in English and Spanish literature and was the first undocumented student to attend Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. She was instrumental in founding the UCLA group IDEAS (Improving Dreams, Equality, Access, and Success), an on-campus group dedicated to supporting and advocating for AB 540 students. She wanted to become a physician and serve her community. Cinthya was 26 years old when she died in May 2010 in a car accident. At that time, Cinthya was working multiple jobs as a waitress, research assistant, and baby sitter to pay for her rent, food, tuition, and to send money to her family.

Deadline is January 15th, 2016.

National Collegiate Leadership Conference

GREAT JOB OPPORTUNITY TO WORK FOR A DISABLED STUDENT ON CAMPUS

I would like to hire a female PCA or CNA for a part-time position on my staff. You can expect 8-15 hours of work a week. I am a UA student and all my staff are UA students and we work together to create schedules that work for everyone. Currently I have an opening M, W, F mornings from 6;30-8;30am. But some of the positions may change after the first week or two of the semester as we all are getting use to our new schedules.

The compensation for this position is $12.00 per hour.

You would be helping me with personal cares, dressing and getting ready for the day in general - so a woman would be preferred since the cares are sometimes very personal. Experience is helpful, but not necessary, as training can be provided on how to do all things related to the job. Most importantly, as a caregiver, it is absolutely essential that you are DEPENDABLE. It is vital that you take your attendance very seriously, because you understand how your absence effects my life.
