Can someone who knows more about this than me, comment on the following: Why are ‘resident clinics’ for patients with Medicaid or uninsured while ‘faculty clinics’ are for patients with private insurance? Racism? Classism? Should this be stopped?

That made sense in its time.

Fair. Also true for “student run clinics” of which my institution has many and very much celebrates that fact. I loved working in them as a student and providing care to the uninsured and least cared for, but it really...isn’t great that we have to have such clinics at all.

We have a medical student-run clinic at our medical school that provides care to the uninsured and indigent. I have mixed feelings about it. These students are idealistic and well-supervised and provide a valuable and educational service, but again there’s the two-tier system.

I suspect different in Canada. Practiced in Ontario and Nova Scotia at 3 diff academic medical centres and had residency clinics at all of them. Identical patient pop to attending clinics. Just sought patient’s permission before booking.
