I have been reading this over and over again and yet have not seen a proper definition for that word.
When schools refer to "your experience in working with the underserved" are they talking about low-income clinics? County hospitals? Immigrant/International clinics? What does it entail?
I have always wanted to work with uninsured people which coincidently is a similar patient population in county hospitals etc. Basically, low socioeconomic status. Is that "underserved?" There are clinics out there that actually do 10-20% uninsured patients every week, and ten years from now, I see myself working for something similar. Does that mean i want to work with "underserved" people???
