The application cycle for the 2020 spring cohort has ended. Due to current clinic demands we will not be hosting a summer 2020 cohort. Please check back in November for the application for the 2021 spring cohort.
Requirements
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. Lastly, one training session is required each semester to keep everyone's knowledge up-to-date.
Clinic Volunteering Roles
As a clinical volunteer, you will have 4 primary roles at clinic: triage, patient registration, intake, and pharmacy. A volunteer performing triage 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, vital signs, and finally, present that information to the medical students. At the pharmacy, volunteers dispense medications and record inventory as needed.
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 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 year!
Our application process is divided into 2 parts:
