This doctor teaches medical students how to care for underserved populations at this south side community health clinic

It’s a gray and rainy Tuesday morning, and Dr. Michelle Buelow is with her patient Johnny at the Parkway Clinic of the Sixteenth Street Community Health Centers.

Despite the weather, Johnny, whom Buelow has been taking care of since 2018, is all smiles.

It’s just one of the reasons Buelow, a family medicine physician at the clinic, loves her work.

She was recently awarded the Max Fox Preceptor Award from the University of Wisconsin-Madison for her work. The award is given to a preceptor “whose effective service as a mentor and teacher has guided UW medical students,” according to a news release from the university.
