Sharing the Vision Summary
|
“To tell the truth I was initially a little skeptical about the whole concept of student-run clinics, which are largely unknown in my country. I feared they would be places where students got to practise their unformed skills on people who had no choice. I've come away with a completely different understanding. Clearly, student-run clinics are places that people choose to attend to get the very best of care. And the students who lead them do so because they care about others' needs as much as - or probably more than - they do about their own. I'm very excited about going back to Australia and introducing the concept.” Conference Summary: A detailed timeline of the weekend's events. Conference Brochure: The official conference brochure.

In March of 2009, the UNMC SHARING Clinics hosted health professionals and students from 36 schools across the United States, as well as Canada and Australia. SHARING The Vision provided a platform for facilitating discussion and interprofessional education focusing on the meaning and management of student-run clinics. The goal of SHARING the Vision was to give students, faculty and staff the knowledge and resources to improve their clinics or to start new clinics, as well as to inspire participants to spread the word about the impact that student-run clinics can have on communities. Through the quality of presentation, discussion and networking that occurred at the conference, we achieved this goal with overwhelming success.
