    Last  week, Florida International University assistant professor Christine McFarlin was going over a patient's chart with a third year medical student. She was discussing which HPV exams would be the most cost-effective for a patient the student had just seen. 

    McFarlin went over the paperwork and advised the student to order a regular test and a second, more expensive exam if the results from the first test came back positive for HPV. 

   The Health Council of South Florida estimates that there are about 100 free clinics in the state of Florida, with only a handful of free medical clinics in South Florida. A free clinic in Miami Gardens, the Universal Heritage Institute CommunityCare Medical Clinic, is the first to host medical students from Florida International University.
