Bridges Collaborative Care Clinic:
Bridges Collaborative Care Clinic is a student-run, free clinic that serves Portland's houseless and underserved community. Residents oversee medical students during urgent-care style visits every Tuesday evening from 5:30-8:30pm. An attending preceptor will either be on site or available via phone for questions or staffing. This is an excellent opportunity to practice teaching skills and get involved in the community. Internal Medicine residents have an Off Campus Agreement signed by OHSU that ensures they are covered legally while working at Bridges. Thank you for supporting this crucial work.
