“…By being exposed to under-served patient populations, the PT students improved their awareness of the social determinants of health and how they affect patient care. This finding is similar to that of Sheu and colleagues, 15,16 who found that volunteering at an SRC helped medical and nursing students understand health disparities.…”

Purpose: Student-run clinics (SRCs) provide a unique opportunity for inter-professional education; they prepare health care students for a collaborative future by enabling them to interact with other such students in a clinical setting focused on inter-professional learning and collaboration. Physical therapy (PT) students are increasingly being included in SRCs; however, most research on student experiences in SRCs has been carried out with medical students. This qualitative study explores the perceived benefits of the PT experience in an SRC through the lens of PT students and their preceptors. Method: A qualitative interpretive-descriptive approach consisting of face-to-face, semi-structured interviews was used. Interviews were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. Data were analyzed using a constant comparative approach. Results: Seven PT students and eight preceptors who volunteered at the SRC between September 2013 and May 2015 participated in the study. Three themes emerged from the interviews: (1) exposure to marginalized patient populations, (2) learning through inter-professional interactions, and (3) experience with different patient care approaches. Conclusions: Participating in an SRC enhances PT students' understanding of their and other health care professionals' roles. Students gained an appreciation for the social determinants of health and improved their knowledge of inter-professional collaboration. The knowledge gained from this study has the potential to inform PT professional development, SRCs, and PT education.Key Words: inter-professional education; qualitative research; students.

“…Since research and lectures in the latter half of the 1990s began focusing on the topic of volunteering, volunteer programs have been introduced into the education system, and their effectiveness in training those who will be the future support of a democratic society in the future has been recognized. There have been reports of practical examples of volunteer activities being used in medical, pharmaceutical, and nursing education as well [2][3][4][5]. In recent years, "service learning, " with clearly defined educational goals and methods, has been introduced in educational programs; information and knowledge that can be used in their practical application have been indicated [7,8].…”

Background: The latter half of the 1990s witnessed the introduction of volunteer activities in primary and secondary school; such efforts were reportedly also taking place in nursing schools. Limited study has focused on the knowledge gained by nursing students through their experience as health volunteers in different fields within the community and the significance of this knowledge. This study investigated the knowledge gained from and the significance of the experiences of nursing students who worked as health volunteers for child rearing women, people with early-onset dementia, and their families. Methods: The study employed a qualitative research design, conducting in-depth interviews.Content analysis was applied to analyze data derived from the statements of 10 nursing university graduates who served as volunteers. Results: Three themes consisting of 6 categories and 13 subcategories were correlated with the knowledge that the nursing students gained through their experiences as health volunteers. The three themes were (1) understanding the clients, (2) understanding the basics of healthcare practices, and (3) envisioning the future. Conclusions:The nursing students learned the value of understanding their clients' characteristics, including their clients' family members, and gave care through their experiences accordingly; further, this gave them insight into their own profession and helped them see themselves in the future as nurses and productive members of society/the community. The results of this study will be used as basic materials for linking and integrating regional services and programs offered by university students into curricula through various ways.

“…Some good examples include student-run clinics from the University of California, San Francisco, where interprofessional student teams care for hepatitis B patients. 15 The University of Florida provides an Interdisciplinary Family Health course that emphasizes community-based learning experiences. Underserved settings may provide a good environment for interprofessional education, with the HRSA collaborative serving as one model.…”
