Under the supervision of licensed providers, DSC’s purpose is to go to the people, meet basic needs, build trust, and provide care for both chronic disease maintenance and acute non-emergent care.
This past year, Small was selected as the 2020 National Student DO of the Year and received an Excellence in Public Health Award from the USPHS.
