WCCHR June Pods

June 5, 2025 - 6:00pm

Join us for our final Pods session of the spring on June 5th from 6-7 PM in LC207/208!

This student-led session will focus on gathering your feedback to help shape future Pods sessions into even more impactful, engaging spaces for our WCCHR community. We’ll also open the floor for discussion around our experiences with subjective evaluations, and how we—as students--can feel more comfortable and empowered as patient advocates during these encounters.

Snacks will be provided, and your insights will be incredibly valuable in guiding the continued growth of Pods. Please RSVP here if you plan to attend.

We hope to see you there!
