To all those interested in the HIV Rotation,
We are looking for coordinators for the Columbia Post-bac HIV Rotation Program at St. Luke's to help expand the program. There will be an informational meeting on Monday, March 2nd at 1 PM located at Room 302 in the Teachers College Library to discuss specifics of the program and next steps for participation and expansion. We apologize for the short notice.
To remind you: the purpose of this internship rotation is to examine HIV care in low income communities from a comprehensive public health perspective with an eye towards being future physicians. We are looking for two first-year postbaccs to help with a pilot program and become future coordinators of this program.
The clinic is an amazing place with a client population of 3,300 HIV positive New Yorkers. They provide a wealth of health care, mental health, case management services as well as conduct research. The staff at the Saint Luke's clinic have been receptive to postbacc student participation and have helped design a rotation that will be piloted on a relatively small scale for the remainder of this semester. The purpose of the pilot is to fine tune the structure for the program and create some tools for reflection on the experience. If all goes well the program will be continued and expanded for future semesters.
Some logistics of the program:
• The four components include 1) shadowing doctors and assisting in a clinical setting 2) assisting public health research 3) providing assistance in constructing patient education workshops 4)
administering satisfaction surveys.
• The weekly commitment is substantial and requires 6 hours per week. While the hours are flexible to fit your schedule, once they are set it requires a consistent commitment, regardless of your exam schedule. We are extremely excited about the educational opportunities the CCC offers. This program is gonna be amazing!
Again, the informational meeting will be on Monday, March 2nd at 1 PM located at Room 302 in the Teachers College Library to discuss specifics of the program and next steps for participation.
