Involving medical students in re-orienting health services: a photovoice study.

Conclusions. This study demonstrated the value of using photovoice to reach medical students to integrate health promotion into their professional identities. The photovoice process, teamwork, and discussions opened a breach into traditional thinking about healthcare aspects often taken for granted or overlooked. Our results confirm that a mix of advanced education and community-based participatory research activities has the potential to produce medical doctors responsive to users ’ needs. This low-cost strategy should be considered for future interventions aimed at reorienting healthcare.
