Dear EDP Students:

I wanted to let you know that students working with young children have another option for the required Soc Wk 571. If you are working with young children you can substitute 571 for IECMH-NURS 555 Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Relationship Based Assessment Course offered in winter quarter.  This class is on-line. Attached is the course description.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

Maureen

Recruiting Health Science Students for the Seattle/King County Clinic “Listening Project”

• Are you a health profession student at the University of Washington?
• Are you interested in learning with and from students in other professions?
• Are you looking for opportunities to learn more about the social determinants of health, through interfacing with community members facing challenges related to accessing health care?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, please keep reading!

The UW Center for Health Sciences Interprofessional Education is partnering with the Seattle/King County Clinic (SKCC) to engage interprofessional student teams as volunteers at the September 2018 4-day clinic.

The “Listening Project” is in response to the clinic’s efforts to better understand the patient populations served. Small student groups will circulate clinic waiting areas, engaging with patients who wish to share their stories related to their health, accessing care, or their experience at the SKCC. Stories will be synthesized and prepared for dissemination to the SKCC, as well as city and state policy makers.

Students will be asked to sign up for one half-day shift during the days of clinic operation—September 20-23, 2018.

If you are interested in participating, please contact Nicole Woodard nwoodard@uw.edu.

About SKCC:

SKCC brings together healthcare organizations, civic agencies, non-profits, private businesses and volunteers from across the State of Washington to produce a giant free health clinic in KeyArena at Seattle Center.  The four-day volunteer-driven clinic provides a full range of free dental, vision and medical care to underserved and vulnerable populations in the region. The next Clinic is scheduled for September 20 – 23, 2018.
