Fourth-year medical student Jairo Campos recently spent a day in San Bernardino with a Loma Linda University Health community health worker, visiting homes of patients, motels where some patients go after hospital discharges, and meeting gunshot victims.
Campos’ participation was required of him for Loma Linda University School of Medicine’s whole-person care clerkship, a new, two-week program led by Paige Stevens, MD, of hands-on training for fourth-year medical students that includes a requirement to shadow a community health worker.
