Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Medical students often lack curricular offerings specific to the care of underserved populations. We surveyed first- and second-year students to inform the development of a 4-week course on the skills necessary to care and advocate for underserved populations within a primary care context. This study assessed students' interest in the potential course, interest in primary care (PC) and underserved care (UC), and factors that would make the course more or less interesting to students. METHODS:The authors designed and offered a survey examining UC, PC, and course interest to all first- and second-year students at one institution. Open-ended free-text survey responses were qualitatively analyzed using content analysis. RESULTS:Response rate was 72% (271/374). Most responding students (90%; 198/220) were very to somewhat interested in UC; 60% (132/220) were very to somewhat interested in PC; and 79% (173/220) were very to somewhat interested in the described course. Very interested students were more likely to endorse interest in learning about community advocacy, having a faculty mentor, clinical care experience, and loan repayment than those with low course interest (P<.001). Analysis of open-ended responses revealed an emphasis on advocacy and career feasibility, resulting in the inclusion of these topics in the final course curriculum. CONCLUSIONS:This manuscript outlines potential areas of engagement for students demonstrating low or high interest in a Caring for Underserved Patients course. Our study may inform educators seeking to develop similar curricular interventions, particularly those who aim to recruit students to PC or UC careers.
