Patient Care OpportunitiesA message from the JMU health
center:“We are allowing undergraduate students to
volunteer approximately 4 hours a week at the health center. There is an application and interview process with priority going to students who are CNA or EMT certified. These hours would count for patient contact hours for PA school. The application is available on the health center’s website. You can also contact Betsy Gentry at [email protected] and she will send you an application.”
