Second-year medical students and nursing students draw blood, administer immunizations and perform lab tests on samples obtained during the physical exam. This handbook is designed for volunteers at SHAC's weekly medical clinic. Each week, different students volunteer, but the roles in which students serve remain the same. Finally, SHAC routinely organizes special clinics or participates in local health fairs. This year, we will organize several health events in the Efland neighborhood where we are building Habitat homes.
Expectations Maintain patient confidentiality.
Do not reveal information regarding the patient to anyone outside the immediate clinic setting. Dress professionally, but casually. Please do not wear jeans, shorts or open-toed shoes. For many of us, the SHAC clinic experience is one of our first opportunities to venture into the real world of the health professions. It is an excellent opportunity to learn about the people in the community we live in.
