  1. Should UM (Founding Campus) Start a Student Run Health Clinic in West Baltimore? Richard P. Barth Presented to the IPE Task Force Committee September 8, 2011

  2. The SHAC Prototype: Structure • 40 years old—student run, faculty guided • Operates every Wednesday night out of a community health clinic • Students from all programs participate—faculty from corresponding schools must be on site or on call • DOFM faculty is on site • No cost to patient (fund raising and in-kind donations support clinic: budget is about 40K/year)

  3. Activities • Student Health Action Coalition… • Screening, referral, and short-term primary care • HIV testing and screening • Mental health services • Sports physicals • Dermatology • Opthamology • Primary care • Pharmacy • Habitat for Health (build a house a year) • Students plan a demonstration of one interprofessional case per year with confederate/simulated patients • Other outreach programs (e.g. Mobile SHAC)

  4. Challenges • Space • Leadership (DOFM and other schools give workload credits) • UNC SOM has a service requirement • (Dentistry has it’s own SHAC) • Social Work gets too many volunteers (and there is sometimes not enough to do) • Making sure that each of the student groups understands the role of each other and referrals do not all come through one path (i.e., family medicine) • Faculty leadership needed to consult with students so that they make wise, safe decisions about outreach, etc. • Financing—SOM does most of the development work
