USC grad students see faces, not statistics, of uninsured
Not only is this a chance for Los Angeles residents to receive free health care, but also a learning opportunity for assistant professor Greg Stephens’ grad students in the USC public health program.
“We had talked with the coordinators of RAM early on about trying to get some information about the patients they are seeing,” Stephens said. “We are giving back some of the information that we are getting.”
The students are asking patients coming out of the different areas questions about their level of insurance, if any, and what is happening afterward in regards to their health. They learned some interesting things from talking with people leaving the dental clinic – those whose mouths were not filled with gauze from an extraction.
“A good number of them actually have insurance coverage,” Stephens said. “The Medicaid program here in California is still up and running, but they have canceled the dental coverage.”
