----KEEP IN CLINIC BINDER---
         Clinic Director Responsibilities
Every clinic day is paired with a Clinic Director who is in charge of running clinic and making sure everything runs smoothly. They must provide the volunteer dentist with a parking pass, accompany the dentist to SDSU dental clinic, make sure students sign in the clinic binder and set up/break down the dental room. If for any reason a Clinic Director is unable to run the clinic, they must inform the Coordinators ahead of time and find a replacement for that day.
