Center for Disabilities and Development (CDD) Volunteer

Unit Description

Volunteers in the Center for Disabilities and Development (CDD) help to provide patients and their family with a welcoming and comfortable experience. CDD volunteers may spend time with pediatric patients in the waiting room and exam room during various appointments and help staff with basic unit tasks. Unit tasks include organizing the waiting room and children's play area, as well as stocking patient and parent forms. Volunteers can also select a discipline to join and help within the CDD including Developmental and Behavioral Pediatricians, Clinical Psychology, Audiology, Physiatry, Speech-Language Pathology, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Social Work, and Medical Education.

Training

All prospective CDD volunteers will attend large group orientation, where they will receive general University of Iowa Health Care information. Volunteers will also attend small group orientation to receive training and information specific to the CDD, including a brief tour of the area. Volunteers will receive training from the department staff.

Shirts are available for purchase at Wild Rose Gifts (Main Entrance Lobby) Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Volunteers must follow the professional appearance policy, which includes wearing the volunteer badge at all times.

Hours Available

Areas of Study Best Suited
