Thank you for your interest in C.D. Doyle!
We are currently accepting applications for social services volunteer positions, which can be accessed here and are due May 17th at 5pm.
Applicants should have an interest in health social services, availability during clinic times for multiple semesters, and a desire to assist underserved populations. Applicants are not able to transfer from social services to clinical positions.
The next clinical volunteer application cycle will open in Fall 2019 and be accessible on this page. Summer volunteering is restricted to members of the volunteer program only.
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 mandatory and are offered at various points throughout each semester.
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.
