2) VOLUNTEER: CommuniCare Clinics

Volunteer positions are currently available in low-income CommuniCare clinics in Davis, Woodland and West Sacramento:
• Medical Records
• Teen Clinic Office Work
• Data Entry for Diabetic patients

Other volunteer opportunities are often available but may go quickly; check with the Volunteer Coordinator for further information about these and other opportunities at CommuniCare clinics.

TO APPLY: Online applications are available at www.communicarehc.org or can be picked up at ICC (2nd floor, South Hall) or at the Davis Community Clinic (located NE of Sutter Davis Hospital).

MORE INFO: Please contact the Volunteer Coordinator at Volunteer@communicarehc.org

 

3 ) Letters of Rec and PLS Website Info

We have been receiving many questions about how to use PLS, and how PLS interfaces with AMCAS, AACOMAS, AADSAS and other application services since the services have gone live. Most of the questions can be answered by reading the information that can be found on our updated PLS website: http://pls.ucdavis.edu, So if you are confused by the process (and it can be confusing!), please read the information on the website. If you still have questions after reading this, you may contact PLS by phoning 752-4100 or emailing plservice@ucdavis.edu or by coming to 160 South Silo for clarification.

Also, please remember that sending letters of recommendation is part of the secondary process and thus is separate from submitting the primary application, so you can (and should) submit your primary application as soon as it done and then have your LOR uploaded to VE or mailed to schools when they are ready. It is important to get your secondaries done in a timely manner, so you’ll want to have your LOR available soon (sometime in June is ideal) if you have already applied or anticipate you will apply before the end of the month. Those who will be waiting for test scores have a little more time, depending on when the test scores will become available.

MORE INFO: If you have questions about the timing of your application and secondaries, please don’t hesitate to make an appointment to talk to an advisor by calling 752-4475.
