REQUIREMENTS:
CLINIC:
Clinic hours are Monday through Friday, from 8:30 am to 6:00 pm, and Saturdays from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm. Our "On-Call" providers begin the call rotation on a Saturday, and start their "On-Call" shifts at 6:00 pm.
Students/residents typically work weekdays and ask the "On-Call" providers to contact them for interesting cases. If your assigned preceptor is on a 'call' duty, you should take call with them.
We provide routine outpatient care and we provide urgent care including, but not limited to, occupational health and trauma. We do our best to get you time with the school nurse and with Aleutian Pribilof Island Association (APIA), native clinic housed above our clinic.
Dress code is casual, but must be clean and business-like in appearance. No clothes with holes or bare midriff or feet. Jeans are OK if clean and intact. Generally, we provide housing and vehicles for students and access to a washer and dryer. However, food and gas is the student's responsibility and is available on the island.
Students and residents are strongly encouraged to to write an article on a pertinent health topic for the local paper, The Dutch Harbor Fisherman.
LifeMed is an air ambulance station in Unalaska/Dutch Harbor during busy season, and we sometimes can get you a ride on one of their medevacs.
Internet access is available on computers at work and in some areas in the community. You may also purchase internet cards at OPTImera or GCI, which you may use to access internet with your laptop. GCI is the islands wireless carrier. Please be advised that some carriers may not work with GCI. Phones from AT&T may be activated to the GCI network, however, there is no guarantee.
ACTIVITIES
Although Unalaska is a small and remote community, there are many activities available for each and everyone to enjoy. During your time off, a hike on one of the many mountains around the island is something you may enjoy. These lands are private properties and would require you to obtain a permit from the Ounalashka Corporation, who owns these lands. Ounalashka Corporation has hiking maps. When you get your hiking permit from them, be sure to ask for the hiking trail maps, the Museum of The Aleutians has topography maps of Unalaska.
Fishing is another activity locals and visitors often enjoy. Just like hiking, fishing requires that you get a fishing license. You may need waterproof boots and comfortable and warm clothing regardless of the time of the year. There are also kayaks available for rent, but it is recommended that only experienced kayakers do this activity. Take lots of pictures so make sure you have plenty of storage in your digital camera. Info on fishing charters, and island tours may be obtained from the Chamber of Commerce at the Burma Road Chapel building, or at The Grand Aleutian Hotel.
There are two museums in the island. The World War II Museum and as mentioned above, The Museum of The Aleutian. We recommend that you visit both for some very interesting exhibits and artifacts.
For food, The Grand Aleutian Hotel offers some delicious cuisine. A Seafood Buffet is available on Wednesday nights, we recommend that you make a reservation as early as possible. Sunday Brunch is another buffet the hotel offers. While your here, try and visit them and enjoy what they have to offer.
PCR (Parks, Culture & Recreation) is also available for you to use. You will need to get a pass from them to be able to use the amenities they offer. There, you will find an indoor track, a basketball court, gym, and many other things to do. If you enjoy books, a library is available on the island as well.
This island has so much to offer and the community has many planned activities that you can get involved in. We make every effort to make this a fun as well as educational experience.
