Student Wellness Initiative

Student Wellness Initiative Toward Community Health (SWITCH) in Saskatoon, SK, is dedicated to providing equitable access to culturally safe healthcare, nutrition, and education for all Saskatoon residents. Since October 2005, SWITCH has been enhancing the training of future professionals while improving the health, education, and skills of individuals in Saskatoon’s core communities, fostering lasting positive change.

As one of Canada's leading student-run clinics, SWITCH offers a wide range of services, operates a high volume of shifts, and boasts a long-standing presence. Each SHIFT involves a team comprising a physician or nurse practitioner mentor, a social work mentor, professional mentors from various health fields, and around 20 student volunteers from various educational institutions.

SWITCH is grateful for the generous support of its partners and sponsors, including the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan Health Authority, and Saskatoon Community Clinic, among others. Financially backed by numerous organizations and granting agencies, SWITCH continues to make a significant impact on the community through its collaborative efforts.
