To accomplish the program goal, projects must meet the following objectives: Develop or enhance trainings, clinical rotations, and didactic and clinical curricula content to train residents in street medicine to provide sensitive and quality care for people experiencing homelessness. Attention to mental health and substance use disorders is expected.

Increase residents’ knowledge and skills to meet the unique needs of people experiencing homelessness and assist patients with navigation of the medical, behavioral health, legal, and social support systems related to clinical care.
