Underserved Alternative Spring Break

Our 2017 Alternative Spring Break program is currently under development and will begin taking applications at the end of October 2016.

The Underserved Alternate Spring Break (UASB) is a program helping current UW pre-health students learn more about underserved healthcare in the Greater Seattle area. Students in this program will spend their Spring Break shadowing healthcare providers who work in local community health centers. UASB will, by the end, allow students to gain an important understanding of many of the barriers underserved individuals experience in accessing care, and of the programs present in the Seattle area seeking to reduce healthcare disparities.
