We send our students to a variety of community health centers.  Although we do not require that you have a car in order to participate in this program, we encourage you to have a car in RI if at all possible. Similar to medical student clinical sites, our clinical sites vary from 15 mins to about 45 mins away. We have been very successful in past years in having our students car pool (or take public transportation for closer sites). As with medical students, the financial aid office includes estimated transportation costs into the cost of attendance calculation.

Assignments will be made in mid-July.
