Call for Volunteers: Work with Patients at HMC Clinics - Telehealth Navigator Project
Description:
The Telehealth Navigator Project is in need of more volunteers!
Health Sciences students now have the option to engage in one or both of the two ways we are involved with clinics:
(1) Remote Support: students are paired with providers to support their patients by calling them in advance of telehealth visits and help them navigate set-up.
***All Health Sciences students are cleared to participate. If you do not already have Epic access, we can grant you permissions for your work on this project. It is also necessary to have HIPAA-compliant Zoom
(2) In-Person Support (New!): students set up a telehealth support kiosk in a clinic lobby to provide help with installation of software and use of telehealth-compatible devices.
***UW health science students who are cleared for IN-PERSON service learning (SOM, SON, SOP, MEDEX) may sign-up to participate! No access to Epic needed.
Additional Details:How to Apply:We hope that through this project we can make progress with reducing the disparities in the ease of use and accessbility of telemedicine. Please feel free to email Chris (chrisjy@uw.edu) with any questions
