Interested in medicine or health care? Interested in making a difference for patients who come from an under-served population? Here is your chance to jump right in!
The Grady Primary Care Center is a high-volume adult medicine clinic located within Grady Hospital. They are recruiting undergraduate student educators who will speak with patients in the waiting rooms about the importance of colon cancer screening and options for patients to get screened. Additionally, the educators will make follow-up phone calls to patients to encourage them to follow through on the screening option of their choice.
Student educators will undergo orientation by an Emory faculty member in late August, and will work for 4-hour weekly sessions for 12 weeks in September-December. They will receive a stipend of $475. Additional funds for parking and transportation are available if needed. This is an excellent opportunity to get experience interacting with patients in a clinical setting.
