Free Clinics Elective

CARING FOR THE COMMUNITY – FREE CLINICS ELECTIVE

This elective provides an opportunity for third and fourth year medical students to provide clinical care at student-run free clinics while advancing their knowledge of the social determinants of health and the barriers that uninsured patients encounter in obtaining primary medical care and specialty care when needed.

Clinical Experience: Students will commit to volunteering for a minimum of 18 clinic sessions during their third and fourth years at the following clinics:

 DOCS Night Clinic at Center for Haitian Studies – Monday nights

 DOCS Night Clinic at San Juan Bosco – Tuesday nights

 DOCS Night Clinic at IDEA Needle Exchange – Thursday nights

Students may replace up to 4 clinic sessions by working all day at one of the DOCS community health fairs for every two clinic sessions missed.
