Volunteer Opportunity for Pre-Health Students

The UF Mobile Outreach Clinic travels daily to different medically underserved communities in Alachua County. We provide education and free primary care services including work/school physicals and prescription refills. Often, our patients belong to marginalized and minority populations; MOC seeks a group of diverse volunteers so that we are reflective of our patient population and can provide culturally competent and sensitive care to each unique patient. 

 

Volunteers call and follow up with patients after their clinic visit, addressing their social determinants of health and providing external resources. Our Care Coordinators are an extremely valued asset for the clinic. This is a great opportunity to learn and take tangible action against health disparities in Alachua County! 

 

Applications are now open for Spring 2022 until October 22nd, 2021 at 11:59 pm. Link to applications: https://outreach.med.ufl.edu/

 

If interested in applying, join current MOC Care Coordinators at Chipotle on Archer Road on Monday October 11th, 2021 from 5-9pm for our interest event, where you will have the chance to talk 1-1 with current volunteers about the program & application tips. 

 

Frequently asked questions and interest event documents are attached below.
