This initiative connects early-year medical students with Street Medicine programs, where they apply pharmacological knowledge, especially about opioids and antibiotics, in real clinical settings serving patients experiencing homelessness. The project assesses how these experiences affect students' understanding and application of basic sciences in community care.
Are you a medical student looking to strengthen your pharmacology knowledge while engaging in research that impacts future curriculum?
Join the Opioids, Pharmacology, and Street Medicine project and explore opportunities such as:
Reviewing and reinforcing high-yield pharmacology concepts
Assisting in survey-based research on medical education
Contributing to improvements in patient care through better-informed prescribing
Participating in street medicine and underserved community outreach
Advancing research that improves pharmacology education for future physicians
Linking medical curriculum development with real-world patient outcomes
Supporting more confident, knowledgeable, and compassionate prescribing practices
Encouraging active learning through student-led education initiatives
This project empowers students to become both better learners and better advocates for effective, patient-centered care.
This initiative is led by a dedicated group of medical students and faculty advisors passionate about pharmacology, public health, and advancing education through research and outreach.
