Weekly Meetings

Patients and students meet virtually each week for the semester. 

Discussions often involve childhood stories, common hobbies, career aspirations, and more.

Often a new friendship/mentorship is born out of the program!

Clinical Outcomes & Feedback

We measure the effectiveness of the weekly meetings in promoting psychosocial well-being and quality of life among PD patients by administering validated patient-reported outcome metrics before and after program participation.
