The Suitcase Clinic

Are you interested in becoming a part of the Suitcase Clinic, but are unable to take Health and Medical Sciences 98/198 during either the fall or spring semester? Consider attending our day-long Summer Training Session, which will be held on June 23rd from 10:00 AM-4:00 PM in 122 Barrows Hall. This will be hosted in order to train new volunteers to staff our three drop-in centers in the city of Berkeley. You will be fully qualified to volunteer upon the completion of the training session, with experience commensurate to that which would be gained through HMS 98/198. You will be expected to volunteer as a caseworker at our three drop-in centers within the city of Berkeley at least four times upon the successful completion of this training regiment. No reservations are required in advance; simply show up on June 23rd and you will receive all the requisite briefing and documentation. Keep updated by reviewing our website, www.suitcaseclinic.org, and you optionally subscribe to our volunteer mailing list, through which you will receive regular updates about our organization, by sending an email to majordomo.
