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 in person during fall and spring semesters on Thursday evenings. Meeting locations and times can be found via the GroupMe
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.
Welcome to UK Medicats!
Current Activities
Future Efforts
Learn from physicians in-person on UK's campus during our weekly meetings and engage with them to ensure your questions are answered.
Medicats is deeply involved in service across our community. Our members have volunteered at God's Food Pantry, Miracle League, RMHC, Eastern State Hospital and various other locations!
From time to time Medicats members meet outside of academic and learning-based gatherings so that we can get to know each other better.
We are students interested in health care careers, so it's a great opportunity or us to learn from each other, share successes, and more.
