Move and Play

    • First-hand experience supporting occupational therapy and patient engagement
    • Meaningful interactions with elderly patients in a clinical setting
    • Enhanced communication, empathy, and patient care skills
    • A chance to bring light and dignity to seniors in recovery

     

    WHO SHOULD JOIN

    This opportunity is perfect for those who are:

    • Aged 17 and above
    • Interested in healthcare, rehabilitation, or eldercare
    • Eager to make a positive impact in the lives of elderly patients
