HMS 98/198 Fall 2007 Syllabus
Interested in volunteering with the Suitcase Clinic?
This semester’s HMS 98/198 will be held Thursdays from 5-7PM in 200 Wheeler. During the first week of class we will be giving an introduction of the Suitcase Clinic and passing out applications for the course. Clinic tours will be held on Monday September 3rd at the Women’s and Youth Clinic, and on Tuesday, September 4th at the General Clinic. Applications for the course are due by Wednesday, September 5th, by 4PM in 570 University Hall. Students who get into the class will be informed that night, and course entry codes will be given out on Thursday in class. If you are interested in taking the course just show up this Thursday; you do not need to sign up through Telebears, as the waitlist is not yet active for this course. We look forward to meeting everyone this Thursday at 5PM. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email class.
