Faculty Mentors and a Culture of Fostering Student Initiative
“WCMC offered the opportunity to learn about medicine from faculty renowned in their fields, and receive mentorship from them for research and the creation of new service programs.”
"The Weill Cornell Community Clinic is unique because it really is student-run. Students aren't just involved in all aspects of the clinic - they do all aspects of the clinic. Students lead everything, from seeing and scheduling patients in the clinic, to quality assurance, budgeting and fund raising. We're lucky to have support of some amazing attendings, and collaborate with a local social work school to provide wraparound care for marginalized patients."
