Interested in gaining professional experience at the Cayuga Medical Center, exploring career options in the health field, and developing your leadership skills?

If so, apply to be a PCAT Volunteer! 

Applications are due on November 2 by 5:00 p.m. 

The PCAT program is offered jointly by the Cayuga Medical Center, the Cornell University’s Public Service Center and Ithaca College’s office of Civic Engagement.   Students who participate in the program will volunteer for a three hour shift every week in the Emergency Department or In-Patient Department at Cayuga Medical Center, and will be required to attend monthly seminars with other PCAT volunteers.  

Students should be aware that their role in the Emergency Department or In-Patient Department will be centered on the patient experience and is non-medical in nature.   This opportunity is open to all students.
