~The SSRFC 2025-2026 Operating Committee~
2026 Conference
University of California – Los Angeles from October 17-18 2026
The location for our 2026 Conference is in the beautiful city of Los Angeles, hosted with Student Run Homeless Clinics at UCLA. LA is a city defined by contrast—extraordinary wealth alongside deep structural inequities, world-class medical centers existing blocks from communities with limited access to care. Its sheer size, cultural diversity, and history of immigration make it both vibrant and vulnerable. For many residents, language barriers, housing instability, lack of insurance, and immigration status complicate even basic access to healthcare. Within this landscape, student-run free clinics play a vital role. They act as bridges between underserved communities and a fragmented healthcare system. In this way, Los Angeles is not just a backdrop for SSRFC—it is a driving force behind our mission, shaping compassionate, socially aware physicians while meeting critical community needs.

What is a student-run free clinic?
A student-run free clinic is an institution that provides assistance at no cost to those in our society that may not otherwise be able to afford such services. These clinics are staffed by volunteers seeking opportunities to provide assistance (medical care, legal assistance, social work, etc.) to populations such as the uninsured and homeless while simultaneously enriching their education with real-life patient interaction.
The Society of Student Run Free Clinics (SSRFC) is an initiative started by students, though a progression of conferences focused on harnessing the passion of student run clinics across the nation.
Mission
The Society of Student-Run Free Clinics will develop a national interprofessional platform for student-run clinics through both an annual conference, website, and newsletter in order to increase communication to foster the sharing of ideas, to collaborate on research, to provide funding resources and to expand the existing scope of clinics as well as cultivate the growth of the new ones.
Vision
SSRFC aims to become a national, collective voice representing student-run free clinics. Our vision is to promote and support the existence of student-run clinics at every health science center. Through our unified strength, we aim to advocate for both resources and health policy that benefits our patients, and to develop a national network to help sustain student-run, free clinics. We truly strive to be an interdisciplinary organization and welcome members from all aspects of healthcare including medical, osteopathic, dental, physical therapy, pharmacy, or any group that has a student run clinic.
