Pre-Med ED Volunteer Program:
Are you a junior or senior pre-medical student looking for clinical experience?
Volunteer Services at UAMC South is recruiting for its pre-med volunteer program to accommodate their new Emergency Department.
Applications are now open and will be accepted until January 31st.**
Go to http://www.uahealth.com – South Campus “Volunteer Opportunities” to apply.
What does it involve?
Students accepted into the program will be trained at the start of the Spring 2012 semester and are expected to serve a minimum of four hours a week in the Emergency Department. Volunteers will become part of the healthcare team. In addition to assisting ED staff and improving patient care, participants will have the opportunity to further their education through clinical observation, a variety of workshops, and interactions with the community.
Who should apply?
Junior and senior undergraduate students with intentions of applying to medical school and taking MCATS. We are looking for students who show initiative and potential as leaders in the healthcare field. You must be willing to serve a minimum of 100 hours as a volunteer.
How does this differ from other pre-med clinical experiences?
The basis for this program is to benefit the volunteers, as well as the hospital, patients, and staff by focusing on fostering cultural awareness and sensitivity—principles outlined by the FACES student organization. The Pre-Med program also involves a system of student leadership to give volunteers the opportunity to challenge themselves, foster educational relationships, and prepare themselves for future clinical practice.
