Medicats is a student-run organization at the University of Kentucky. It was created to help fellow prospective medical school students gain valuable insights into what they can expect as a medical student and physician by listening to the real-world experiences of doctors and engaging with them in-person or online.
We have weekly meetings during fall and spring semesters on Thursday evenings. If that week's physician is local, we meet in-person on campus. If the physician is not in Lexington, we use Zoom.
We are expanding the scope of our member support by contacting medical or health care related service organizations to help our Medicats gain valuable shadowing/volunteering time.
