MEDiC Student Run Free Clinics

Established in 1990, MEDiC is a student-run program of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and is comprised of seven health clinics throughout Madison. MEDiC’s goals are twofold: first, to improve the health of underserved patients in the Madison area and second, to educate University of Wisconsin-Madison health professions students.

The seven clinics provide a variety of services, including general medical care, physical therapy, dentistry, and mental health care.

• Salvation Army Clinic provides care to residents of the Salvation Army Family and Women’s Shelter on Tuesday nights.
• Southside Clinic is MEDiC’s only walk-in clinic and opens at 8am every Saturday out of the Access Community Health Center on Park Street.
• Michele Tracy Preventative Health Clinic occurs one Tuesday evening each month and provides specific programs aimed at improving the health status of residents of Porchlight’s North Brooks Street housing facility.
• MEDiC Mental Health operates every other Saturday morning at The Beacon on East Washington.
• More Smiles Wisconsin offers dental services to Dane County residents and operates on Thursday nights out of the Salvation Army Family and Women’s Shelter.

MEDiC Volunteers must be current health professions students and must attend an Orientation Session before they can begin volunteering. MEDiC holds two volunteer orientation sessions each year, one in June and one in early September. You should receive an email on your program listserv a few weeks before each orientation.
