This is an RVUCOM medical outreach elective opportunity open to all first and second medical students.

Students will be provided the opportunity to provide diagnostic and patient care services, participate in preventive and public health events, and work in areas such as minor surgery, pharmacy, triage, and clinical laboratory settings.
