Mini Medical School Fundraiser- Sunday, October 14 - Equal Access Clinic

On Sunday, October 14 the Equal Access Clinic- UF College of Medicine’s entirely student-run, free clinic for Alachua County’s underserved community- will be hosting our annual fundraiser- Mini Medical School- at Harrell Medical Education Building on UF’s campus! Mini Medical School is an event created to help premedical students explore a day in the life of a medical student. All proceeds from the event will go directly towards EACN's annual budget, which provides laboratory tests, prescriptions, and medical supplies necessary for treating the underserved patient population of Gainesville and Alachua County.
