NOW RECRUITING FOR OAND SERVICE MEMBERS FOR 2008!
Now Recruiting for 2009 Service Members!
The OAND is currently seeking NDs who are willing to assist the public and the profession! Being a Service Member with the OAND will afford you FREE membership in the OAND for the 2009 calendar year, while giving you priority access to the OAND Fall Convention Work Exchange Program and a complimentary registration for the OAND Spring Conference.
The OAND Service Member Program provides opportunities for NDs to be a part of the exciting work of the professional association. Service Members provide a fundamental service to the public and the profession by providing ND referrals and information about naturopathic medicine over the phone and by assisting the OAND staff team with various events and office related tasks. Service Members are asked to work one (1) four-hour shift per week at the OAND office.
We are looking for NDs (including recent grads who are in the process of applying for BDDT-N registration) who have excellent telephone and computer skills (preferably Microsoft Word, Access, Excel, and Outlook), are able to work independently, and are willing to commit to working four (4) hours per week for the 2009 calendar year during either a morning (9am to 1pm) or afternoon (1pm to 5pm) shift.
There are many benefits to participating in the Service Member Program. The OAND will pay your OAND membership fees for the 2009 calendar year and you will have the opportunity to learn about all the programs and services offered by the OAND; you will gain insight into the kinds of issues the public wants assistance with in managing their health; you will be a part of the major events sponsored by the OAND and increase your network of NDs.
This is a wonderful opportunity to develop new skills, and to become more involved with the naturopathic profession and your professional association! If you are a new graduate, this is a great way to orient yourself to the profession and the association, while obtaining a membership in your provincial professional association at no additional out of pocket cost to you.
An orientation will be provided for all Service Members. Attendance at the Service Member Orientation is mandatory for all those wishing to participate in the program. This year’s Orientation will be scheduled on January 8, 2009 from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm. All Service Members will then be expected to attend one (1) four-hour shift to shadow a current Service Member in the following week (to be arranged with the Office Manager). Regular shifts will begin the week of January 12-16, 2009.
Please note the OAND office is located in Toronto at 789 Don Mills Road, just south of Eglinton Avenue, across from the Ontario Science Centre. The OAND office is accessible via public transit by taking the Eglinton bus from the Eglinton subway station or the Don Mills bus from the Pape subway station. Metered parking is also available.
