ATTENTION: Thank you to all of our amazing volunteers and community members for making the CSSC such a success and helping so much of our Arizona community! As students return back to clinical rotations, the CSSC programs have transitioned back into a part of the Community Health Initiative Program (CHIP) of the University of Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix. Please email our CHIP leader at chip@uacomps.org with any further questions!
Welcome to the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix COVID-19 Student Service Corps (CSSC)!
Thank you so much for your interest in volunteering and serving our Arizona communities during this trying time.
About the CSSC:
What is the CSSC?
The CSSC was an initiative started by the Columbia University health professions students and we have adopted this model for our school. We have a large volunteer workforce with many different interprofessional students as well as students from other medical schools. We have many projects including those focused on education, PPE, food / resource programs, help lines and epidemiological programs.
Our Mission:
To support Arizona health systems and their patients, workforce, and communities facing the COVID-19 pandemic through interprofessional student service-learning projects.
