Intern Rotation

During this two-week rotation, residents and students learn first hand about critical community factors affecting child health, while interacting with medical and non-medical providers at over 50 community-based organizations (CBO's) (see below) to provide health care and education for under-served children and families in Rochester. The rotation serves as a connection between the residents/students and the community they serve.
