The College of Medicine – Tucson is helping provide medical care to the homeless population during the coronavirus pandemic. The Commitment to Underserved People program functions throughout the year and provides clinics at Tucson’s Z Mansion, an event venue and soup kitchen downtown. Students in the program are reaching out to this particularly vulnerable population during the pandemic. During each shift, students suit up in personal protective equipment, including gloves, medical masks and plastic face shields. Then, they prepare and serve meals, but also screen visitors — who are asked to remain 6 feet apart — for symptoms of COVID-19.
