Free clinics and studentrun clinics are an essential part of America's health care safety net.In community after community, pro bono and studentrun health clinics have sprung up over the past 30 years, providing critically needed care to medically underserved populations. Free Clinics is a mosaic formed by accounts of such clinics around the United States. These wideranging narrativesfrom urban to rural, from primary care to behavioral health careprovide examples that will assist other communities seeking to find the model that best fits their needs.The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has improved access to health care for many Americans, but millions remain and will remain uninsured or underinsured. Free clinics provide nonemergency care to those in need. Nationwide, professionals can be found offering volunteer services at these clinics.Contributors to this volumetypically people with personal familiarity (as clinicians or area residents) with the clinics they write aboutcover a variety of topics, including a review of the literature, datadriven accounts of clinic usage, and ethical guidelines for studentrun clinics. They describe the motivations of clinic staff, the daytoday work of a family nurse practitioner working in clinics and teaching at a university, the challenges and rewards of providing health care for homeless people, and more. Studentrun clinics are the topic of the second section: in addition to providing care to a small subset of those in need, studentrun clinics are an important venue for training future clinicians and helping the seeds of altruism with which many enter their professions to germinate.Free Clinics will be useful to policymakers, students and faculty in public health and health policy programs, and clinicians and students who are embarking on launching new clinics.
