Our main clinic spaces were generously donated to us by Vancouver Coastal Health Authority for use on the weekends and Vancouver Native Health for use on Wednesdays. Both of our clinics are located less than 5 minutes walking distance from each other in the downtown east side right on the outskirts of Vancouver's Chinatown, also known to be one of our Nation's poorest postal codes.
For our general clinic shifts, we hold orientations on an annual basis every September. As of 2010, due to the number of applicants who want to apply and our lack of space for holding all the interested applicants, we began a competitive admissions process in which students are required to submit a small 400 word essay. In 2010 we held a separate orientation in January for the smaller faculties, there may or may not be another orientation in January 2011 depending on the capacity at which our clinic will be operating.
