Clinic Vols

Clinic Vols was established in 2002 to combat the shortage of school nurses in inner-city schools by training students (through the American Red Cross) to be health clinic volunteers. The organization grew to be one of the largest pre-health organizations on campus, with more than five hundred members staffing 12 inner-city school health clinics in Knoxville where students provided basic first aid to students. In addition to clinic duties, students volunteered with other community agencies and groups such as the National Kidney Foundation, Remote Area Medical, and Toys for Tots.
