| Outreach: Type of Service Learning Activity: | IPPE Clinic |
| Outreach: Please describe the activity. What did you do?: | I was at South Park clinic on 07/27/23 from 6pm-9pm. At this clinic, I worked with medical students under the supervision of Dr. Vanic who is a physician. We saw patients who lived in the homeless shelter who needed care but could not afford to or had no PCP. The medical students were in charge of assessing the patient while I was around if the patients had any questions about their medications or if the med students had drug related questions as well. While there, I did a med rec on a patient which came in handy as I am currently being trained as a medication history technician at my job so I was able to use my work skills at this clinic. I was able to obtain a patient's medication history by asking them a variety of questions. I had a great time at South Park. The patients were very grateful for our service and it was great to work as an inter professional team. |
