qlinic at Weill Cornell Medicine

qlinic at Weill Cornell Medicine is a novel initiative that aims to build a free student-run clinic specifically addressing mental health disparities in LGBTQ communities in New York City. Our clinic will recruit medical student volunteers from Weill Cornell to work with and treat LGBTQ patients living with a variety of mental health disorders, focusing our scope on those with depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. Students will be trained and supervised by attending physician volunteers. We hope that our clinic will address these needs by providing a safe space to seek financially accessible, quality mental health care for LGBTQ patients. At the same time, we hope to create an opportunity for aspiring future physicians to gain experience in working with LGBTQ-identified patients.
