Description
The Medical-Legal Partnership for Seniors Clinic (Seminar and Fieldwork) is a required prerequisite. The MLPS Clinic may not be taken concurrently with this course.
This course will provide the opportunity for students who have previously gone through the Medical-Legal Partnership for Seniors (MLPS) Clinic to complete an additional semester of fieldwork for 2-4 units. Each unit will be the equivalent of at least four hours of fieldwork per week. Advanced students will provide holistic legal representation to UCSF and VA patients in advance health care planning, estate planning, public benefits, and housing, in order to stabilize that person's situation and improve overall health, in collaboration with the patient's medical providers.
