Clinic Team and Roles:
The medical student team will perform blood pressure, weight and blood glucose screening for walk-in clients and provide counseling as necessary. If requested, an appointment will involve the medical student team obtaining an HPI and performing a basic physical exam.
When students have completed screenings or basic histories, they present the case to the volunteer provider. Together, they discuss a plan with the client and counsel the client on next steps.
Referrals - Undergraduate and/or medical students serve as referral coordinators for clients who Interpreters (in-person and via telephone) are available as needed.
During downtime, preceptors are asked, if they feel comfortable, to provide impromptu teaching to student volunteers.
Health education is led by the Somali Health Board in the larger community room, with additional organizations occasionally joining to provide education.

Volunteer providers are needed to supervise student participants at this clinic. Contact boarddirector@shifauw.org or project leads for more information.
