The Volunteers in Medicine Clinic has taken on an increasingly important role as a teaching facility for students pursuing health care careers. The student program at VIM Clinic has been an unmitigated success, said Medical Director, Dr. Howard Voss. “It makes me very hopeful about the future of health care.” VIM Clinic is participating in a community-based teaching model with the Florida State University College of Medicine. Third-year medical students are mentored one day a week in a health care facility and over the course of a year, get to know their patients. “The students have a unique opportunity at VIM to do initial evaluations and follow-ups on new patients,” Dr. Voss said. “They see the fruits of their medical practices as the patients heal and improve.”

PRESS RELEASE

Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare and Florida State University's College of Medicine are working well together on two residency programs, both aimed at keeping new doctors practicing in this area. FSU's medical school was founded a decade ago on the premise that it would focus on rural and medically underserved areas such as those in North Florida. It is not an easy mission to fulfill, yet residency programs are known to be a big factor in where a physician decides to settle.
