in a way that (the student) isn't used to,
Sarah can walk them through why they
might have reacted that way, because she
has long-standing relationships, she's
worked hard to rebuild that trust. "
The opportunities that CU Street
Medicine is able to help students access
is important, Boyd-Trull says, because
students may have a desire to provide
care to people experiencing homelessness
or housing insecurity, but may not
have a clear picture of what that care
can entail.
" The thing we're asking is how do we
create real, meaningful change for this
population? " Boyd-Trull says. " How do
we set this up so more and more people
can be aware and see these needs as real
things that are happening every day in our
communities? Even if somebody goes out
for a one-time visit, it will change the way
they practice health care.
" I think the important thing to learn is just
being present and meeting people where
they're at. I've had people go out with me
and say they hadn't considered some of
the need they saw, maybe just the simple
things - a person is dehydrated, they need
water, or they haven't eaten for three days
and are scared to leave their tent because
they don't want to get robbed. A lot of
times, the need is for something as simple
as kindness, so the humanism piece is such
an important part of medical education.
We're not going to solve every health care
problem known to man, but it all starts
with caring. "
" WE CAN'T UNDERSTAND UNTIL
WE'VE REALLY LISTENED "
Both Henkind and Connelly say their experience
organizing CU Street Medicine
and working with people experiencing
homelessness and housing insecurity has
had a significant impact on the sort of
health care they want to practice.
