It’s not all work at IUBAT. Summer 2011 volunteers (l-r) Sean, Gillian, Jess and Ray introduced the IUBAT neighbourhood to Vancouver Canucks fever! Sean, Jess and Ray visited Dhaka for six weeks as part of their Community Health coursework at our BSN affiliate, Vancouver Community College. They conducted community assessments alongside IUBAT students, and participated in clinical rotations at local health care facilities. Gillian, an RN who is also from Vancouver, joined IUBAT as Visiting Faculty, teaching Medical-Surgical Nursing and Professional Issues.

Sonia Meyer is one of our longest-serving volunteers. With a background in respiratory therapy, she completed her BScN in the USA. Sonia lives year-round in Bangladesh, making time despite job and family responsibilities to supervise IUBAT medical-surgical students in their clinical practice. Managers at United Hospital appreciate the way Sonia emphasizes high-quality nursing care and cooperative relationships with all the staff. Sonia says, “I enjoy working with the students. They get good experience at United Hospital and they are so eager to learn. I am proud that they really care about their patients as if they were their own family.” She is certified by the American Heart Association to teach cardio-pulmonary resuscitation to our students each year. Such consistent, capable faculty members are hard to find in Dhaka.
Big thanks, Sonia!
