Exploring perceptions of genetic counseling student-run free clinics as an innovative service delivery model to increase access to genetic counseling services.

Underrepresented groups lack access to genetics services, heightening health disparities among those who benefit from advancements in precision medicine. An innovative approach to addressing this gap in care and increasing health equity in the context of genetic counseling is student-run free clinics (SRFCs). While only one recently established SRFC for genetic counseling is reported in the literature, SRFCs have a long-standing presence in other health professional schools, such as nursing, pharmacy and physical therapy, and research supports the benefits for patients and students.
