Poverty Simulation: A Day in The Life | UT Health San Antonio

The Center for Medical Humanities & Ethics at UT Health San Antonio hosts the annual poverty simulation event - an opportunity to immerse medical students into the life of those who live within the poverty line.
"As part of the annual exercise, students take on a persona like the head of a family of four trying to survive on slightly more than $27,000 a year, an elderly person living alone on Social Security or someone living in a homeless shelter. Individually and in groups, the students visited 17 stations set up as social services and businesses scattered around the room, attempting to navigate the everyday challenges faced by those in poverty."
