Intentions good? Perhaps.

But these are med students ie not yet doctors...so actual doctors will be asked/recruited/shamed into supervising, helping, etc.

The area around UC is rife with crime, thuggery, drugs etc. Freebies will be like the proverbial saucer of milk left out for a stray cat. Eventually the other strays will show up expecting their own saucer. Some of them may speak a language other than English despite not being residents of the ‘community.’

Can confirm.

I have no idea why but most med schools seem to be in the absolute worst areas of town.

You don't want to go walking off campus around UC med school at night, well, or during the day either.

Thanks for pointing that out.

If these are medical students, they can't actually do much of anything.

You can get a provisional license after you complete med school, but that means you must be supervised by a resident.

You can get a full license after you complete your internship year.

So these well-meaning people cannot prescribe anything, can't perform any procedures, and really shouldn't be touching a patient, without a license.
