The Department of Family Medicine supports medical student engagement in promoting the well being of school students in the Madison area community by sponsoring Doctors Ought to Care (DOC).

DOC 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 teach middle and high school students about health promotion and safety. Students participating in DOC enjoy the opportunity of partnering with schools to provide young people with health related information that is fun and dynamic.

Stan Livingston, MD is the DOC Faculty Advisor and Sharon Younkin is the Program Coordinator.
