The mission of our free clinics is to provide superior health care in a compassionate manner, ever mindful of each patient's dignity and individuality. To accomplish this mission, interprofessional teams call upon the skills and expertise of all who work together to advance medical innovation, serve the health needs of the community, and further the knowledge of those dedicated to caring.
We have six community clinics throughout Chicago treating uninsured patients in communities that are underserved by the healthcare system in a variety of cultural contexts. These clinics a) provide excellent patient care, b) allow our students to gain hands-on experience in both patient care and medical service, and c) provide leadership opportunities for our students in the realm of clinic management and community outreach.
In 2024, Pritzker’s Six Free Clinics have:
- Held 179 Clinic Sessions
- Have seen 715 Patients
- Involved 241 individual Student volunteers (most volunteer 3x or more!)
- Involved 63 individual Preceptors (many volunteer 2x or more!)
- Involved 41 Resident Volunteers
All our Free Clinics require that medical student patient care is supervised by a fully-licensed physician for clinic to run (includes UChicago & Northshore Faculty, Fellows, or Chief Residents). Over 90% of our trainees pursue work at our free clinics and list these experiences as among the most meaningful activities of their medical school career.
