The Hobgood Clinic is a health screening and education program offered free of charge to the residents of Hobgood,
North Carolina. Medical Student Volunteers from the Brody School of Medicine team up with the
undergraduate students of the North Carolina Student Rural Health Coalition to provide quality health screening, health
education, and health counseling to Hobgood's residents. The clinic is held the first Saturday of
every month throughout the calendar year at the Thomas Shields Community Center in Hobgood, North Carolina.
On site evaluations include blood pressure screening, vital signs, history, physical
examinations, whole blood glucose,
cholesterol/triglycerides, urinalysis, KOH and wet prep microscopy, hematocrit, peripheral blood
smear examinations and cell estimates/morphology. A limited amount of medication is available
for supplementing the patient's previously prescribed regimens.
This clinic provides each student volunteer with the opportunity to learn while providing
assistance to a community in need. Senior medical students can earn credit for assisting at the
Hobgood clinic as an elective. The clinic operations are administered by secondyear medical
students, in cooperation with Dr. Nina Sehgal, Medical Advisor and the NCSRHC.
