Medical students present research from USA Student-Run Free Clinic

Sachi Patel and Mariam Omar present posters at the annual meeting of the Society of Student-Run Free Clinics. 

Medical students Mariam Omar and Sachi Patel represented the USA Student-Run Free Clinic (SRFC) at the annual meeting of the Society of Student-Run Free Clinics held Oct. 3-5 in Chicago.

Both third-year medical students at the Whiddon College of Medicine, Omar and Patel presented several research projects the USA SRFC is conducting to advance patient care at the clinic as well as improve the student volunteer experience. 

“While at the conference, we met so many groups from schools around the country presenting inspiring work at their SRFCs,” Omar said. “It was such a great experience, and we are so grateful to the Office of Student Affairs for supporting us and making this trip possible.”
