Student Community OutReach and Physician Support (S-CORPS) was created in the midst of the SARS-CoV2 pandemic to empower motivated medical students, who were otherwise limited by PPE shortage and safety limitations, to provide remote support to high risk patients and improved access to their PCP's. This course will emphasize outreach to vulnerable patient populations who have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19, along with opportunities to help to bridge the health disparity gap widened by the rapid shift to telemedicine. Under the guidance of a paired physician mentor, students will build longitudinal relationships with vulnerable and isolated patients via team-based virtual video and telephone calls. Students participate in weekly didactic and debrief small group sessions to learn highly applicable clinical skills and reflect on their early patient experiences. S-CORPS fulfills the ECE credit graduation requirement. Open to Graduate and Med students only.
