Student-run free clinics may enhance medical students' self-confidence in their clinical skills and preparedness for clerkships

CONCLUSION: SRFCs are a useful tool in the medical school curriculum that help bridge the gap between classroom learning and clinic and may encourage practice in medically underserved communities. SRFCs also integrate classroom material and clinical practice, although standardized evaluation metrics need to be developed. SRFCs should be incorporated as a learning experience by medical schools nationwide.PMID:38696139 | DOI:10.1080/10872981.2024.2348276
