I don’t like going to a doctor. What should I do?
Q Clinic offers a friendly and safe space where we will listen to your concerns and work with you.

How can I volunteer with Q Clinic?

How can Q Clinic prepare me for serving patients identified as LGBTQIA?
We offer sensitivity training to all our volunteers, who also learn a tremendous amount by seeing patients in our clinic. Q Clinic also organizes educational events on the medical campus, and all are welcome to attend.
