What has changed at the IUSM Student Outreach Clinic since its inception in 2009?
Host: Kathy Miller, MD
Interview: Charles Goodwin, M.D. /Ph.D. student, chair of the IU Student Outreach Clinic Board.
The Indiana University Student Outreach Clinic recently celebrated four years of serving uninsured patients free of charge on the near eastside of Indianapolis. Since opening, the clinic has expanded to include students from Butler University School of Pharmacy, IU Department of Public Health, IU School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, Indy Krannert School of Physical Therapy, IU Robert H. McKinney School of Law and IU School of Dentistry. The clinic partners with local Neighborhood Fellowship Church, which houses the clinic every Saturday. On average, the clinic is capable of seeing 30 to 35 patients with acute and chronic conditions each Saturday -- patients who otherwise would not be able to attain care due to transportation and financial constraints. Charles Goodwin, M.D. /Ph.D. student is the IU Student Outreach Clinic Board chair. Goodwin discusses the importance of interdisciplinary relationships at the clinic and how the experience of volunteering at the clinic benefits students like him.
