Volunteer
The Medical Outreach program recruits volunteers and provides them with an opportunity to gain first-hand observance of physicians and medical practitioners working in a clinical environment. This is an intensive internship, valuable to future nurses, physicians, public health majors, and anyone interested in seeing what working in the medical field is like. The internship is focused on giving interns (a.k.a. volunteers) a variety of experiences in treating patients and deepening their understanding of the medical field.
