About
SWITCH has been operating since October 2005. The continued success of our clinic is a testament to the hard work that went into designing Saskatoon’s SWITCH clinic as a sustainable organization.
Of all of the student-run clinics in Canada, SWITCH offers the largest variety of services, operates the highest volume of shifts, and has been open for the most number of years.
What a SWITCH shift is
What does a shift look like?
Each shift has:
- A physician or nurse practitioner mentor

- ~20 student volunteers from the U of S, U of R, First Nations University, and Sask Polytech in medicine, nursing, physical therapy, social work, kinesiology, nutrition, clinical psychology, pharmacy, public health, arts & science, educational psychology, dentistry, and more
