Thank you for your interest in C.D. Doyle! The next undergraduate application cycle will open in fall 2019 and be accessible on this page.
Requirements
One of the biggest requirements we have at the clinic is availability. 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 an outreach project twice per semester, which takes place on a day of your choosing. Lastly, one training session is required each semester to keep everyone's knowledge up-to-date. These sessions are offered once a month, starting at 12:30 PM before the clinic.
Clinic Roles
When volunteering at C.D. Doyle, undergraduates have the option of helping with four different areas: triage, intake, pharmacy, and social services. A triage volunteer greets patients as they come in, asks their reason for coming, and answers any questions patients may have. Once an intake station is open, intake volunteers take the patient's vitals and history before presenting the patient history to a medical student. At the pharmacy, volunteers count, dispense, and log medications as requested. Finally, social services volunteers provide resources for patients such as referrals, basic care, MAP information, and 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 clients. We have a limited number of positions available because there are a limited number of jobs to do at clinic. When we have too many volunteers at 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 up every semester!
Our application process is divided into 2 parts:

Our application process is divided into 2 parts:
- Fill out an application and contact us about a letter of recommendation to give us a better idea of who you are are and what you can offer to the clinic.
- If selected, applicants will then be invited to attend a 30-minute interview to give clinic directors the opportunity to get to know you and whether volunteering at C.D. Doyle would be a good fit for you.
