Some University of Wisconsin Medical School students are getting an early dose of reality and at the same time, helping those in need.
Some future physicians are learning patient care through a lesson plan taking them out of the classroom into the doctorâ??s office by providing health care to those struggling to make ends meet.
No one expects to be down on your luck and out of work. And yet when people are, getting sick or needing to see the doctor can be a nightmare. If they are unable to pay, many donâ??t get the care they need.
For nearly 20 years, UW medical students have quietly been making a difference by treating patients who would otherwise go without care at free clinics throughout Madison.
