Clarifying learning experiences in student-run clinics: a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Student-run clinics (SRCs) are outpatient clinics run and organized by undergraduate medical students. While these clinics offer participating students multiple learning opportunities, little is known about how participation in an SRC contributes to learning and how this learning is influenced.

Methods

In this qualitative clarification study, we conducted semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of 20 students and student-coordinators participating in our learner-centred SRC (LC-SRC), to gain in-depth insight into their experiences and learning. These interviews were analysed using Glaser's approach to grounded theory.

Results

Analysis revealed that responsibility, authenticity, and collaboration described how SRC participation contribute to learn
