Article Synopsis
- Student-run clinics (SRCs) are innovative initiatives aimed at increasing healthcare access and providing clinical experience to students, although research on their health outcomes is currently lacking.
- An integrative review analyzed 51 peer-reviewed studies to identify health outcomes associated with SRCs, focusing on various health conditions and using case review methods predominantly from the U.S.
- The findings suggest positive health outcomes for patients utilizing SRCs across several health categories, but emphasize the need for more rigorous future research to strengthen these conclusions.

It is suggested that the virulence of the causative group A meningococcus declined as the epidemic progressed.
