CAMI (Council for Anglophone Magdalen Islanders), in collaboration with their partners, seeks to meet two important needs of the English-speaking population of the Magdalen Islands. First being the need to improve the accessibility and delivery of health and social services to Anglophones, and retain English-speaking youth in the Magdalen Islands region.

The objective of the McGill program is to develop an internship program for English-speaking students who wish to work in the health and social service sector across the Islands and the goal of this program is to improve the delivery of health and social services to English-speaking Magdalen Islanders.

This can be accomplished by creating a successful and sustainable internship program that leads to the retention of English-speaking youth who are educated in the H & SS field, and by attracting English-speaking health care professionals from other regions.

Increasing the number of English-speaking professionals in the health and social services sector of the Islands will significantly improve the delivery of these services to the Anglophone population.

When dealing with health issues, it’s extremely important to have service in our own language and fully understand the dialogue. The full cooperation of the officials in the Islands’ health & social service’s institutions has lead us to believe this is an attainable program.

Any students studying in the health & social services field can contact CAMI to determine their eligibility within the McGill internship program. If you are a student planning to continue your education in the health & social services sector and would like to obtain additional information pertaining to this program, please feel free to contact us at (418) 985-2116. We would be glad to be of assistance.
