​Updates on the Fall 2024 Undergraduate Volunteer Application
The Fall 2024 Undergraduate Application Cycle is closed, and applications are under review. We expect interview invites to be sent out in late October, and we will notify you if there is a delay. If you have any inquiries regarding undergraduate involvement at C.D. Doyle, please reach out to Sanika and Katie at [email protected]. 

​Requirements
To meet the requirements for being considered as an undergraduate volunteer at C.D. Doyle Clinic, students must either be enrolled in an educational institution or be taking a gap year in Austin. We take attendance and commitment very seriously. If selected, we require that all volunteers attend at least 1 clinic per month. You must be available to volunteer Sundays from 1:30 PM - 5:30 PM. Additionally, all volunteers are required to participate in at least 1 outreach project per semester, which takes place on a day of your choosing. One training session is required each semester to keep everyone's knowledge up-to-date. Lastly, all undergraduate volunteers are required to write a short reflection at the end of each semester.

Clinic Volunteering Roles
As an undergraduate clinical volunteer, you will have three primary clinical roles: patient registration, intake, and social services. A registration volunteer greets patients as they come in and records their chief complaints. The volunteers working registration then check patients into our EHR system. Next, the intake volunteers interview patients, take their History of Present Illness (HPI), vital signs, and finally, present that information to the medical students. Additionally, social services volunteers provide resources for patients such as referrals, basic care, MAP information, and so much more.

You may ask, "Why do I have to apply to volunteer? Can't I just show up and help?"
At C.D. Doyle Clinic, we take seriously our responsibility to provide excellent care to all of our patients. We have a limited number of positions available because there are a limited number of jobs to do at the clinic. When we have too many volunteers at the clinic with nothing to do, it slows us down and wastes your precious time. If not selected, we encourage you to re-apply, as spots open every year in the Fall!
​
Our application process is divided into two parts:
  1. Fill out an application and submit it before the deadline.
  2. If selected, applicants will be invited to attend a 30-minute interview to allow clinic officers to get to know you and determine whether volunteering at C.D. Doyle would be a good fit for you.
After being selected, students will be required to attend an in-depth orientation on taking vital signs, performing core duties, and providing basic social services information.
