Wheelock Hospitalized Child in England Information Session

Saturday, February 27, 2010

12:00pm - 1:00pm

Brookline Campus (43 Hawes Street, Brookline, MA) in the Living Room

Wheelock's Hospitalized Child In England Program is a two-week intensive survey of psychosocial practice and international hospital play. Whether you're a Child Life Specialist, student, educator, or health care professional, Wheelock's Hospitalized Child in England Program will give you a comprehensive perspective on hospital play and health care delivery within the United Kingdom. You will be able to immerse yourself in a foreign health care system and learn how a different culture approaches aspects of hospital play in a variety of settings.
Come learn more about this great opportunity this Saturday, immediately following our Graduate Open House! HCE faculty, alumni of the program, and admissions representatives will be there to answer all your questions.

Please RSVP to Michele Mahoney at mmahoney@wheelock.edu or 617-879-2197.  We hope to see you there!
