The program aims to foster compassion and empathy among the college students in the program,– the majority who are aspiring healthcare professionals. In the long-term, this impact could lead to better patient care. This webinar will review the Buddy Program model, selection and training methods, along with the positive effects the program is having on college students, and pediatric patients and families across the country.
