The Clinics
The Free Clinic Project aims to serve patients who are not eligible to receive health care through any other program.
New patient clinics are held Monday evening downtown and Wednesday evening in Pacific Beach. A medical student or a team of medical students conduct a comprehensive interview including information about the patient's present condition, history of the present illness, social and family history. A physical examination on the patient is also performed. The medical student(s) then presents the patient's case to an attending physician and together they talk with the patient. The attending, medical student and patient collaborate to determine the best course of action. If needed, medications are ordered from the pharmacy and are then dispensed to the patient.
