Subject: Opportunity to Volunteer at ECHO Free Clinic this summer



Please forward this to your PreHealth students, who might be interested in
this summer opportunity.

Thank you.

Dear Pre-med/Pre-health Students,

Einstein Community Health Outreach (ECHO) is recruiting summer volunteers
for 2010.

Located in the South Bronx, ECHO is the first student-organized clinic in
the New York metropolitan area, serving patients from the five Boroughs and
parts of Westchester County.  Our mission is to provide free primary care
for people who lack health insurance or cannot afford insurance and
healthcare.  Run by the medical students of the Albert Einstein College of
Medicine, ECHO provides routine medical exams, social services, and
counseling, as well as referral services to physicians associated with the
Institute for Urban Family Health (IUFH), Montefiore Hospital (Einstein
affiliate), and Lincoln Hospital. 

During the school year, ECHO is staffed by pre-medical and pre-health
students on the administrative side.  Your work includes patient
registration, health education, translation, research, and clinical
shadowing.

Our Saturdays begin when we meet at the clinic at 8:15.  We open at 8:30
a.m. and register patients until noon.  The day's work is generally
completed by 3 or 4 p.m. depending on the number of volunteers and the
volume of patients. 

Below, is the attached application.  Your health forms MUST be completed and
returned with your application in order to be considered (This includes a
blood test/titer showing immunity to MMR and Varicella, a PPD test, and
proof of tetanus immunization).  You are not required to receive Hepatitis B
vaccination or titers.  In addition, include a passport-sized photo when
mailing pages 5-7.  If there are any problems regarding the health forms
(i.e. with insurance, payment for tests, submitting by deadline), do not
hesitate to contact me.  If you do not have health insurance, you can go to
ECHO and fulfill this requirement.

Applications are due by April 23rd.

 Thank you for your interest in ECHO. Please visit our website
www.echo-clinic.org <http://www.echo-clinic.org/>  to learn more about us.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me anytime at
[log in to unmask] or email Michelle Cheng, the Project Director at

Best wishes,
