Medical students at all levels have many opportunities to assist with the operation of neighborhood clinics serving a variety of populations in Chicago. Student groups recruit and organize colleague volunteer services at: - Chicago Health Outreach
- Lawson YMCA
- Devon Clinic
- Erie Clinic
- St. Basil’s Clinic
- Lawndale Clinic
- Chinatown Clinic
- Children’s Memorial Hospital’s Cabrini Green Clinic
- Winfield Moody Clinic.
Participation in these organizations early in one’s medical education affords the opportunity to acquire insight into the cultural and social issues unique to certain patient populations, assists with language translation, helps run special interest programs (smoking cessation, sexual responsibility, domestic violence and others), and affords patient-physician communication skills practice. Further information on these opportunities may be obtained from upper-class students or the Associate Dean for Student Programs and Career Development.
