They will also be conducting research and projects to improve the services offered at the clinic for those in need. This agreement seeks to provide further knowledge and experience about social and community medicine. The first group of PUCMM medical student to rotate in the Clínica de Familia started on July 25th.
The Clínica de Familia La Romana has an ongoing program for student rotations and volunteering since 2002.
