Volunteering

Benefits of volunteering

 

Volunteering at Camp Liberté is a great way for dermatology residents to get valuable experience, connect with other healthcare professionals, and develop a better understanding of young patients outside the practice setting.

Since Camp Liberté’s inception, our resident volunteers rave about the professional opportunities and, most importantly, they enjoy connecting with the children and helping them to create their own camp memories. Without a doubt, resident volunteers are an integral part of the success of Camp Liberté. We thank all volunteers for their commitment.

 

Camp perks

Camp Liberté is a career booster for dermatology residents. Our volunteers gain new skills; grow their knowledge base, while working along side other healthcare professionals.

On top of these benefits, volunteers get to spend time with patients in a non-clinical setting, which gives professionals an insight into what it means to live with a skin condition and develop empathy.

Additionally, the experience gained at Camp Liberté can be used to develop a personal learning project that is eligible for Section 2 credits and for some volunteers, your program director might allow you to use the time as an elective.

Your involvement will provide families the peace of mind that comes with knowing their child’s skin condition will be properly cared for.
