Article Synopsis
- Increasing interest in experiential training for medical students on social determinants of health (SDH) through community partnerships exists, yet there is a lack of effective design data and insights from community organizations on such collaborations.
- A qualitative study with open-ended interviews was conducted to gather perceptions from community organizations and clinical clerkship directors about the benefits and challenges of academic-community partnerships in enhancing medical students' understanding of SDH.
- Three main themes emerged: community organizations align the education of students with their mission while benefiting from consistent volunteers, students gain valuable exposure to SDH, and there is a need for standardizing student experiences and clear communication regarding goals and expectations.
