The UF Mobile Outreach Clinic travels daily to different medically underserved communities in Alachua County. We provide education and free primary care services including women's health, 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 social determinants of health and providing external community resources. They also work one on one with patients in a clinical setting to assist with patient intake, scribing, and much more. Our Care Coordinators are an extremely valued asset to the clinic. This is an excellent opportunity to gain clinical experience and take tangible action against health disparities in Alachua County!
Care coordinator applications are open for the Spring 2023 semester until October 28th, 2022, at 11:59 PM.
In order for your application to be considered, you must submit one letter of recommendation and be able to commit at least three consecutive semesters to our clinic upon admission into the program.
Please note: The letter of recommendation can be written on your behalf by anyone you interact with professionally (professor, supervisor, club member, etc.)
