The GOOD LIFE Clinic stands for Greater Omaha Outreach for Diabetes Lifestyles Impacting Fitness and Education. It opened in October 2002.
It is similar in concept to the SHARING Clinic (Student Health Alliance Reaching Indigent Needy Groups), which opened in 1997.
"The idea is to provide low-cost care to those people most in need,” said Robyn Kaiser, a second-year medical student who is one of the students who helped develop the GOOD LIFE Clinic. "It’s an interdisciplinary clinic that brings together medical, nursing, pharmacy, medical technology and nutrition students. It’s really been a fantastic educational experience for all the students."
In these audio clips, the GOOD LIFE clinic staff explain:
- The signs and symptoms of diabetes.
- Why they volunteer to serve at the clinic.
- How this clinic fits in with the SHARING and RESPECT clinics.
- It was the students' idea to start the clinic.
- Why this is a beneficial experience for students.
- Developing roles as a care-providing team.
