COMMUNITY HEALTH CLINIC<br />
Hey MS14!<br />
We hope that you are all having wonderful summers! We also wanted to let<br />
you all know about a great opportunity to volunteer at the Community<br />
Health Clinic (CHC). Here is the scoop:<br />
• What- Providing primary care to uninsured and underserved patients<br />
(taking a patient history, vitals, providing treatment plan with<br />
supervision <strong>of</strong> physician, and summarizing patients’ case in a written<br />
note).<br />
• When- Monday evenings 4:30pm-9:30pm<br />
• Where- West Town at 2611 W. <strong>Chicago</strong> Ave (about a 20 minute<br />
drive from campus, and transportation is provided).<br />
• Why- Volunteering at CHC gives you the opportunity to learn how to<br />
deliver quality care to a diverse population <strong>of</strong> underserved patients,*<br />
meet inspiring physicians and MS4 and MS2 mentors, and acquire<br />
great clinical experience.<br />
• How- Sign up to volunteer at CHC during the Student Activities Fair<br />
during Orientation<br />
*CHC provides care to a very diverse patient population, including members<br />
<strong>of</strong> large <strong>Hi</strong>spanic and Polish communities. Please do not be intimidated if<br />
you do not speak either <strong>of</strong> these languages; you are more than welcome to<br />
attend CHC, as you can see English-speaking patients and/or work with an<br />
interpreter.<br />
