What to Expect

This appointment may take most of the day, so please come prepared.

During your day in PAC, you will meet many people and visit many places in the hospital. We will try and ensure that everything is completed as quickly and smoothly as possible.Do not hesitate to ask your nurse in PAC at any time for a short break if you feel your child needs one.

The Stollery Children’s Hospital is a teaching hospital. We often have learners in our clinic so you may also see medical residents and healthcare students as members of your child’s care team. You may be approached during your PAC visit by a research coordinator from Alberta Health Services or the University of Alberta about current and ongoing research studies. Participating in medical research is outside of your child’s medical care and is completely optional. Notify your PAC Nurse if you are not interested in hearing about or participating in research.
