At roughly three-quarters of U.S. medical schools, health professional students run student-run free clinics (SRFCs) to provide free or reduced-cost care—including, for example, primary care services, medications, and social services—to their local communities [ 1 , 2 ]. Typically, student volunteers engage with patients, then consult with licensed preceptor volunteers to design treatment plans [ 3 ]. Patients at SRFCs often face one or multiple forms of structural disadvantage that limit their access to healthcare, including being unhoused, uninsured, or of low socioeconomic status, and they tend to belong to racially or ethnically minoritized communities [ 2 , 4 ]
