ho are we?

Founded in 2006 by WSUSOM student Lesley Lawrenson, the mission of Amigos Médicos is to help students understand and meet the healthcare needs of the medically underserved members of the Hispanic community through education and community service. 

These goals are achieved through medical Spanish language sessions, volunteer experiences in bilingual healthcare settings such as Covenant Community Clinic and CHASS Clinic, and travel opportunities to Mexico and South Carolina.

In addition, we also organize a variety of events on and off campus. Each year we hold "Ace the OSCE", free for Amigos members, which helps prepare first-years with tips and mock interviews with second and third-year students. We also have "Clinical Skills Night" at Covenant Care Clinic, where students can learn valuable medical skills and help raise money for the clinic as well.
