Last weekend, members of our CFC Steering Committee traveled to Chicago, Illinois to present their research at the Society of Student-Run Free Clinics 2025 Conference.
The conference was a wonderful experience to share our findings with our colleagues from other free and charitable clinics across the county, and we are equally grateful for the opportunity to learn from them and discuss future directions to continue increasing healthcare accessibility for our patients. Take a look at some of our presenters' projects!
