Physicians: Would you like to Volunteer with MIAH?
October 7, 2011 -

Medical Initiative Against Homeless (MIAH), a UCI SOM student-run outreach organization, would like to extend an invitation to join us as we work to meet the medical needs of the homeless and underserved. We are excited to announce a brand new collaboration with Illumination Foundation (IF) and Kaiser Permanente to run a mobile medical clinic once a month to provide care and treatment to the homeless and uninsured. But we cannot do it without your help! We are recruiting attending physicians from UCI to come out and act as preceptors to our medical student volunteers, just one evening a month, with no month-to-month commitment.

Some details about the mobile clinic:

• What? MIAH/IF/Kaiser’s Mobile Medical Clinic.
  
• Where? Located near Downtown Santa Ana
  
• When? Every 3rd Thursday of the month from 5:30pm to 8:30pm
  
• What is my role? Seeing underserved patients and teaching first and second year students
  
• What is the commitment? No commitment necessary
  
• Who else will be there? You will be working alongside one Kaiser attending and a variable number of residents, along with medical students.

If you would like more information about this opportunity, please fill out our Interest Form by clicking this link

Thank you so much for your time, and we encourage you to contact us at medinith@gmail.com if you have any questions.

New Membership Changes
September 24, 2011 -

First of all, thank you for your contributions to MIAH and your service to our community. MIAH began as a small medical school organization four years ago, and now has grown to embody various graduate and undergraduate classes unified for a single cause--so thank you for your help!

MIAH is now going through significant changes regarding membership, and if you would like to continue being a MIAH volunteer please continue reading.

As of August 2011, we will erase all volunteer information from our database and start from scratch. This is solely because we need to make sure all MIAH volunteers are insured, fingerprinted, and oriented when dealing with the homeless population and patients. For instance, in case a child or patient gets hurt during a MIAH event, we need to have all volunteers insured and have a proper protocol in place.

How do I continue being a part of MIAH? In order to become a MIAH volunteer again, you will need to attend the New Member Orientation held on Friday, September 30th (time and location TBA). At the orientation, we'll discuss how to sign up for MIAH, volunteer commitments, and how to get your fingers printed (Live Scan) at a local police station ($10 to $20). By doing this, we hope to have all members insured at events, be a more organized club, track all volunteer hours, and have a more tight-knit organization. Please go to our FAQs section for step-by-step instructions.

Again, mark your calendars to stay with MIAH!
