MEDIC CLINICS SELECTIVE: A STUDY OF MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS AND INTERPROFESSIONAL COLLABORATION

2 credits.

Provides a two-pronged opportunity for fourth year medical students to re-engage with MEDiC clinics where they may have volunteered during their first and second years of medical school, further appreciating the complexities of serving marginalized populations, and to use their recent clinical experience to contribute as both mentors and collaborators with students from multiple health professional professions. Careful focus on the broad public health issues affecting the patients in MEDiC clinics and how these issues inform their health status, health care and health access. Investigate the role of race in health disparities, as well as the role of socio-economic status.
