Upcoming Events

Here are some of the many amazing speakers we’ve had at Medicats meetings, either in-person or via Zoom. Some speakers have even joined us multiple times!

Attending these speaker events counts for shadowing hours and oftentimes these physicians will let students come into their offices and clinics for additional shadowing.

Speakers

A huge focus of Medicats involves volunteerism and giving back to the community, especially in the context of serving patients. Our students have the opportunity to serve patients at the Hope Lodge, Ronald McDonald House, and the Miracle League here in Lexington.

Volunteering and Impact

Every year Medicats partners with various organizations such as the UK Healthcare Trauma team and the Army Suture Clinic to host engaging trainings and activities.
