Medical students interview patients concerning health concerns and provide health education, while SSA students talk with patients concerning their social situation, and help enroll them in social service programs. Both medical and SSA students provide appropriate referrals. The Clinic relies strongly on the support of a team of medical students who work to coordinate physician and student recruitment, supplies, develop health education and patient referral programs, and conduct community outreach. In the past, both undergraduate and graduate students from a variety of programs within the University of Chicago have coordinated special projects at the Clinic. Funding Clinic operation expenses are covered primarily through the Community Service Fund of the University of Chicago and several independent grants.
