|  The
Role of Medical Students in Imani Clinic
Many regular clinic
volunteers have told us time and time again that seeing patients at Imani Clinic
has been one of their most worthwhile experiences in medical school. Going
to clinic not only allows you to practice important history taking and physical
exam skills that you will be learning during your first year, but also allows
you to take active leadership roles in community health by applying to be a clinic
co-director. We all look forward to welcoming you to the Imani family!
Medical students need to be in clinic around 9:00 AM, and should
expect to be out around 1:00 PM. All medical students--especially
first years--are encouraged to come to Imani Clinic! Make sure to
bring a lab coat, your ID badge, and a stethoscope (if you have
one). Please contact one of the medical co-directors
should you have any further questions.
Tasks performed by medical students at Imani include:
--full physical exams
--pap smears
--pregnancy testing
--HIV / STD
testing and counseling
--suturing
--vaccinations
--blood draws
--birth control counseling and prescribing
--depression screening and treatment
--substance abuse screening and counseling
--preventative medicine education
--digital rectal exam
(...and much, much more)
