Abstract
Student-run free clinics (SRFCs) are common in medical schools,1-6 yet the current state of these clinics is not well described. The first national study of SRFCs conducted in 2005 described 111 SRFCs at 49 Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) member institutions.1 We conducted this survey to assess whether there has been growth of SRFCs in medical schools and describe the characteristics of these clinics.Keywords
