USC Student-Run Clinic

The mission of the USC Student-Run Clinic (SRC) is to deliver quality patient care to the underserved people of Los Angeles, and enhance health professional education through an inter-professional, team-based approach to health care.

Students from four professions: occupational therapy, medicine, pharmacy, and physician assistants work together in interprofessional Care Teams under close supervision of licensed USC Preceptors from all four professions. The Care Teams also consist of students at different levels of training, allowing for multiple layers of learning. Students can learn about each other’s unique roles in healthcare delivery and work together to assess, diagnose, and optimize the patient’s health and lifestyle to suit their unique needs.

The SRC provides occupational therapy students enriching opportunities, including the chance:

1. to advocate for the occupational therapy profession;
2. to work directly with people in the primary care setting; and
3. to critically problem-solve patient care-plans while working in collaborative interprofessional Care Teams.

Additionally, occupational therapy students contribute to the Care Team in a unique way by providing the team with the patient’s narrative.

How to Get Involved

Occupational Therapy students will be allowed to participate in the Student-Run Clinics starting from the 2nd semester of their 1st year. It is vital for students to have gone through at least one practice immersion to better understand the multiple factors that occur within the clinic. In addition, all students who are interested in volunteering for the SRC must attend at least one training session. Sessions are scheduled throughout the academic year and more information can be found at the Student Involvement Fair.

Inter-Professional Health Symposium

Every Fall, SRC organizes a day of learning and experiencing the profession of all four disciplines through a structured symposium. Students have the opportunity to discuss and problem-solve patient cases with students from pharmacy, physician assistant, and medicine.

The last Symposium, “Interprofessional Street Medicine: Integrative Care for the Homeless,” was held on Saturday, September 28, 2019, at the Mayer Auditorium on the Health Science Campus.
