The Free Clinic Research Collective
There is currently a dearth of published information related to student-run free clinics.  Therefore, the FCRC, the newest journal of the MSPress, aims to establish a national platform facilitating communication about student-run free clinics in order to: strengthen the representation and impact of these dedicated projects and promote a humanistic philosophy of care among current and future healthcare professionals.  The FCRC accepts submissions on a wide range of topics related to student-run free clinics. 
The FCRC is now accepting: research articles, brief communication pieces, reflective essays, and viewpoint articles.  All submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis.
Feel free to contact the FCRC Associate Editor, ​
Elizabeth Lee (freeclinic@themspress.org), for any questions.
