Costs and economic impact of student-led clinics-A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Student-led clinics generate a range of benefits to multiple stakeholder groups. Students receive important educational opportunities to advance in their training.

Method

We conducted a systematic search of MEDLINE All, PsychInfo, CINAHL, A+ Education (
