title: Health screenings by medical students at the Banquet: January 2006 to July 2006.
abstract: In January 2006, the students of the Sanford School of Medicine of The University of South Dakota began performing health screenings at the Banquet, a local organization that offers free meals to those in need. This article discusses these screenings, the number and types of patients who were seen, what the students have learned from the experience, and our future plans for health screenings.
