Clinic Workflow

Faculty volunteers should expect to see between 2-6 patients per clinic night. A team of one first year medical student and a third or fourth year student will first see the patient and complete a history, then present to the physician outside of the patient room. The physician will then discuss the plan and then reenter the patient room with the medical student team for assessment. If medications or referrals are needed, the Maria Shelter Board Members will coordinate the items needed for the patient.
