Doctors Ought to Care (DOC)

Doctors Ought to Care is a nationwide organization of physicians and medical students dedicated to working with young people to promote healthy lifestyles. Locally, UW medical students are trained to give talks on a number of health issues. In addition, DOC sponsors other health topics on our lives, alternatives to violence, and related activities.

DOC members are eager to interact with and educate young people at the critical period of time when they are forming health habits that may last a lifetime.

DOC is sponsored by the University of Wisconsin Department of Family Medicine. Stan Livingston, MD is the DOC Faculty Advisors and Sharon Younkin is the Program Coordinator. The Doc Program works solely to provide information to students as it pertains to their health.
