Patient Exposure

Definition: “Patient exposure can be a diverse range of experiences that help students practice working with real patients and see what it’s like to function in clinical settings. It also helps students gain a better understanding of the many rewards and challenges that come with being a healthcare provider.”

Some examples of patient exposure are volunteering or working in hospitals, clinics, nursing care facilities, hospice, or physical rehabilitation centers.

Opportunities

Keystone Hospice is a locally owned and operated agency that serves Ada, Boise, Canyon, and Gem counties of Southwest Idaho.  We take care of people that have been diagnosed with a terminal illness and have less than six months to live. 

We are looking for volunteers to come and sit, play cards, play games, read, play musical instruments with our patients. The sky’s the limit on what a volunteer can do with our patients. They can even record the patient’s life story.
