USF Health Service Corps Sponsored Events & Projects

 These projects and events are sponsored and approved by the USF Health Service Corps and are also listed in a calendar format at USF Health Service Corps Calendar.

STUDENTS:

First, thank you for your interest in participating in these service opportunities. Second, please remember that you should NOT miss scheduled classes/labs to participate in these service activities. Please note that some of the events listed below may have the name and email for a student leader of a specific student organization (so that you can have a contact person/liaison with whom you can sign up as a volunteer) but this does NOT limit participation to only those members of that particular student organization. In fact, the only events which have specific participation requirements are the clinical events listed in Section I, below. All other service events and projects listed in Sections II – VII are open to any interested USF Health student. Once that you sign up for an event, you will receive final detailed information and driving directions a few days before hand. ALSO – if you sign up for a service event and can not come at the last minute, please be sure to let the contact person know so that we can plan accordingly. Thank you!

COMMUNITY PARTNERS:

Please contact Ellen Kent, MPH, Faculty Coordinator for USF Health Service Corps, at ekent@health.usf.edu, with specific questions about the events listed on this page or if you wish to collaborate with the Service Corps. Thank you!
