Student Lead Clinic
Info on an upcoming iniative called SEARCH: Student Energy and Action for Regina Community Health:
Interdisciplinary Student Action Group Outline
This letter is to outline and explain the establishment of an inter-professional student health care project in the core neighborhood of Regina. The idea for this project arises from a similar program in Saskatoon, SWITCH. SWITCH stands for Student Wellness Initiative Toward Community Health and is one of several such programs in Canada which provides year-round interprofessional, after-hours clinical and social services to underserved communities.
This program is being initiated by students representing nursing, medicine, social work, clinical psychology, nutrition, physical therapy, and others. Students are currently cooperating with faculty members from the represented colleges and members from community organizations. Ideally, the group can use input from community members and agencies to best organize these services.
The vision is to serve the community by providing clinical and social services on a weekly basis. Students would work as a team under the supervision of mentors to provide after hours primary health care services, with measures in place to ensure continuity of care. The setting would be that of an informal, drop-in clinic, which also provides healthy food, drinks, childcare, as well as a warm and safe environment. A future goal would be to provide social and educational programs and activities targeted towards needs identified by community members. Some potential examples are programs surrounding healthy cooking, women’s needs, parenting, or any other identified need.
Meetings with program co-ordinators at the Four Directions Community Clinic have identified that facility as a potential space for this project. The student group and clinic staff would work together to organize the available resources in order to provide quality services in an efficient manner. The current plan is to garner support, secure funding, and organize services in order to open the clinic in spring or fall of 2009.
There are several goals of this program. The first is to respond to community needs by providing quality health care and serving as a platform for further programming initiatives. Another focus will be the development of future health care professionals as members of an interdisciplinary team. Most importantly, through this service learning project students can learn first hand from patients about barriers to healthcare and the importance of addressing social determinants of health.
This Regina student clinic is run jointly by students and faculty members.
