LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Students from Touro University Nevada, home to Nevada’s largest medical school and only school of osteopathic medicine, have created and launched a website offering a variety of volunteer services to the community during the COVID-19 crisis.
Called #MedReady, the site seeks volunteer opportunities for Touro students to give back to their community.
The program offers three primary areas: free K-12 online tutoring; free undergrad and MCAT online tutoring; and general community assistance, including grocery pick-up for seniors, assistance with screenings and other frontline opportunities for healthcare students.
The website is intended to help meet community needs while giving students the opportunity to give back.
