All healthcare professionals play a vital role in the mobile clinic.

There is a one-week minimum requirement from each HP to ensure consistency of workflow and quality of care.

​

​

What You'll Do:​

• Work collaboratively with other care providers through the exchange of best practices and therapeutic knowledge.

• Attend drug formulary management meetings, which are conducted to ensure consistent and standard levels of care between HPs within similar scopes of practices, as well as allow other HPs to contribute and understand the demographics the mission will serve. Round table discussions will be hosted at least twice prior to the mission – participation is vital to the success of a true inter-professional collaboration/relationship.

• Provide valuable clinical experience and mentorship to our student members by working alongside them, giving them a better understanding of each specific profession and scope of practice.

• To ensure HPs have a baseline understanding of the mission’s workflow, HPs are asked to participate in at least one in-person mock clinic training sessions or actively engage in the planning of one. Mock clinics are held two months prior to the start of the medical mission. 
• Optional but highly encouraged, provide lecture and/or train student members on specific topics during one of their weekly student meetings.
