In addition to directly meeting the ongoing healthcare needs of 2,000 plus patients a year, at minimal cost, the SRFC Project creates a unique and invaluable learning opportunity for medical, pharmaceutical, dental and integrative medicine students. The SRFC Project is nationally recognized and serves as a model and a training ground for medical leaders countrywide who are seeking to better meet the needs of underserved and vulnerable populations.

• 2,000+ patients served
• 250+ medical students trained in underserved medicine and community-based integrative healthcare
• 100+ doctors, dentists, pharmacists serve as clinic volunteers and student advisors
• We provide more than 59,000 volunteer hours and average more than 3 hours of volunteer service for every paid hour

• The Student-Run Free Clinic Project model has been replicated in more than 10 other communities across the nation.
• The companion Faculty Development Program has provided over 105 faculty physicians with the teaching, administrative, and community partnership skills needed to develop and implement programs in the primarycare of medically underserved and vulnerable populations.
