Phillips Neighborhood Clinic (Yr. 1 of 2)

The Phillips Neighborhood Clinic (PNC) is an interprofessional student-run, free clinic in which students from multiple health professions care for an underserved population under the guidance of an interprofessional team of preceptors. Throughout their time with the clinic, students volunteer both in the clinic and at community outreach sites where they learn about the community, the culture of the people they serve and the skills needed to practice their profession within an interprofessional collaborative team. PNC is a two-year long commitment, where students typically volunteer about 60 hours per year.
