Project Title: Medical Students for Coachart Project Category: Health Project Mission/Blurb: To create a framework for USC Medical Students to become volunteer coaches to teach art and music lessons to pediatric patients of the Los Angeles Community.
Who I intend to help : Children with chronic or life-threatening diseases and their siblings.
-
Location : Los Angeles, California United States Address: 3246 Descanso Drive
-
Why I am doing this project : Medical students with artistic and musical backgrounds have a unique understanding of both these creative arts and the field of medicine. The advantage of training these individuals as volunteer coaches is hugely impactful to the CoachArt mission.
- Medical Students can understand the medical needs of the pediatric patient population that CoachArt focuses on.
- Medical Students can both motivate these children creatively and academically in life.
- Medical Students can have a positive and friendly relationship with these patients outside their serious medical attention for their grave disease.
-
What I need to help finish this project : Money, Volunteers, Expertise/Mentorship Process so far : Last year 12 USC medical students became volunteer coaches and the project was a huge success. Each of these students took on pediatric patients and gave a series of at least 10 lessons in the arts or athletics
How will you complete the project: I intend to utilize the LongTail Grants database and fundraising system to both publicize these medical students action and possibly raise funds for art supplies and musical instruments to supply a permanent CoachArt lesson room on the USC Health Sciences Campus for lessons.
