It is extremely rewarding to work with Mascoma Clinic. We
feel that the clinic is an incredible resource for the community and for DMS and
we would like to stress that everyone is welcome to participate, but that strong
commitment is particularly valuable to its operation.
Contact
mascoma.clinic@dartmouth.edu for more info on volunteer opportunities! More info will be posted
online soon.
Physicians
Residents
Students
The clinic is staffed by 4 DMS students and 1 DHMC resident, 2 nights per month. As a student volunteer, you interview the patient, perform any physical
exam skills you feel comfortable doing, which are appropriate, and present your patient to
the resident. You and the resident work together to assemble a diagnostic
picture, an assessment and a plan of care. You will complete the note and have an opportunity to see your
knowledge in action, learn a lot, and HELP PROVIDE A VALUABLE SERVICE TO LOCAL
COMMUNITIES.
Student-Doctor:
4:30p - 9:30pm (the evening you choose)
Carpool with other volunteers from DMS to the clinic (w/ a stop at the Good
Neighbor clinic to pick up supplies). Clinic runs from 6p - 8p (depending on
patient load) followed by dinner at the clinic (donated by a local church) and
discussion of the day's cases w/ the awesome volunteer resident.
Other positions:
