This study investigates the self-reported backgrounds, roles, and experiences of medical students who directly participated in forensic evaluations of asylum-seekers at a student-run forensic asylum clinic between 2017 and 2021.Methods: Electronic surveys were sent to 40 medical students who had completed at least one asylum evaluation through the student clinic. Survey questions asked about student background, motivations, volunteer roles, and learning experiences during the evaluation process. Frequencies were calculated for multiple choice and 10-point Likert scale responses. Reviewers independently identified themes in free-response answers. Responses were subsequently coded using a consensus theme bank.Results: Eighteen of 40 (45%) students emailed completed the survey. Seventy-eight percent of respondents reported a personal or familial history of immigration. Almost all wrote the first draft of the medical affidavit. All respondents to the question reported improvement in their confidence working with patients who had experienced physical or psychological trauma as a result of persecution or feared persecution, because of their participation in an asylum evaluation. Conclusions: Students frequently were motivated to participate in forensic examinations of asylum-seekers for personal reasons related to their immigrant backgrounds. Our findings suggest that asylum evaluations promote professional development and skills working with survivors of trauma, though there remain technical and emotional challenges that mandate adequate training and support for student volunteers.","PeriodicalId":73958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of student-run clinics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42288716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subspecialty clinics including orthopaedics provide a unique opportunity to gain exposure to musculoskeletal anatomy and pathology. These clinics are organized and managed by a student clinic coordinator. In this study, we seek to understand the impact that being the clinic coordinator of the musculoskeletal clinic plays in specialty selection.  \u0000Methods: A descriptive study was conducted by gathering electronic survey responses from former student clinic coordinators at the Penn State College of Medicine student-run musculoskeletal clinic from years, 2009 to 2017. The respondents described the influence of the coordinator role on residency selection. Additionally, the survey consisted of a five-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree) regarding the student’s motivation for participating in the clinic as a coordinator. \u0000Results: From 2009 to 2017, there were 18 LionCare Orthopaedic Surgery Clinic Coordinators with a male-to-female ratio was 1.25:1. Residency specialty selection was Orthopaedic Surgery (n=8, 44.4%), Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (4, 22.2%), Family Medicine (2, 11.1%), Cardiothoracic Surgery (1, 5.6%), General Surgery (1, 5.6%), Obstetrics & Gynecology (1, 5.6%), and Emergency Medicine (1, 5.6%). The most commonly cited reason for participation as clinic coordinator was “interest in helping an underserved population.”  \u0000Conclusions: The study illustrates an association between the role of orthopaedic clinic coordinator and entering a specialty focused on musculoskeletal care. More than half of the students who participated as a clinic coordinator pursued specialties involving musculoskeletal care (Orthopaedics and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation). Student-run medical clinics present an opportunity to provide early exposure to musculoskeletal medicine and potential avenue for orthopaedic education and mentorship.","PeriodicalId":73958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of student-run clinics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45148155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evidence demonstrates the association between social support and severity of depression, but this relationship has not been analyzed in an SRFC. Thus, we assessed the association between social support and depressive symptoms.Methods: We used electronic health records data for patients from 2013-2020 (n=2,501 patients). The dependent variable was severity of depression symptoms as determined by scores on the patient health questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4). Higher PHQ-4 scores correspond to increased severity of depression. The main predictor was the patient's social support, which was defined by their employment status, marital status, and the number of individuals in their household. We conducted a multinomial regression model to control for other patient-level factors (i.e. race, sex, and age).Results: When controlling for other factors, patients with higher social support scores had lower odds of scoring a 4 on the PHQ-4 (Odds ratio [OR]=0.838, 95% Confidence interval (CI)=0.770-0.912). When examining specific social support sources, when compared to patients who reported being not-married, those who were married had lower odds of scoring a 4 on the PHQ-4 (OR=0.578, 95% CI=0.401-0.833). Compared to patients who reported being employed, those who were unemployed had greater odds of scoring a 4 on the PHQ-4 (OR=2.323, 95% CI=1.766-3.055). We observed no significant differences in PHQ-4 by the number of people in the household.Conclusion: Patients with greater social support were associated with fewer depressive symptoms. Specifically, employment status and marital status may be larger contributors to a patient’s social support. Our results allow SRFCs to offer interventions such as investing in social work programs and community partnerships that offer professional development and employment opportunities to patients.","PeriodicalId":73958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of student-run clinics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48837011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Obtaining an understanding of what motivates students of physical therapy (SPT) to volunteer is important as pro bono clinics serve the under-insured in the community. The Volunteer Functions Inventory (VFI) explores the motives behind volunteerism and has not yet been used to analyze the SPT population. The primary purpose of this study is to investigate motivational factors involved in SPT participation in their pro-bono clinics. \u0000Methods: All 261 accredited physical therapy programs in the United States were contacted and asked to distribute the survey to their students.  Upon agreement, the anonymous survey link was sent to the representative to be dispersed to the students via email. Qualtrics Survey Software® was used to collect the data. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and logistic regression were used to analyze the data. SPSS v26 was used. The alpha level was set to p <0.05. \u0000Results: The survey had 274 SPT participants in this study. The participants were split into participation (n=189) and non- participation (n=85) groups. Pro bono clinics made changes in response to the coronavirus-disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic by temporarily pausing treatment (56.2%), changing from in person to telehealth on a video platform (44.9%) or telehealth on a phone call (9.5%). \u0000Conclusions: Similar to previous studies on volunteer motivators in medical students, those who volunteered were significantly more motivated by their values including altruistic and humanitarian concerns compared to those who did not volunteer (p<0.05). This small cross-sectional study found that SPT were more motivated to volunteer based on their altruistic concern. Over half of the SPT respondents reported changing pro bono services or pausing services due to the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":73958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of student-run clinics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45613373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is important that the healthcare workforce reflects these trends to reduce healthcare disparities among underserved populations. For example, concordant backgrounds between patients and providers improve communication and increase probability that patients seek and receive healthcare among marginalized populations. Building in curricular opportunities to connect with the underserved community is one way to recruit students from diverse backgrounds into this pipeline that will lead to a diverse workforce in healthcare. The objective of this study was to assess the influence of an interdisciplinary student-run clinic (SRC), which focuses on caring for underserved and vulnerable populations, on students’ decisions to matriculate in four health professional programs (medical, occupational therapy, pharmacy, and physician assistant) at a single institution. \u0000Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional survey study, we examined factors influencing first-year students’ decisions to attend a private university in a large metropolitan area. The primary outcome was students’ self-reported ratings of the university’s SRC as a factor in their matriculation decisions.  Two-tailed Mann-Whitney-U tests was applied to compare the relative importance of SRC on matriculation. Free response data were evaluated by a qualitative content approach. \u0000Results: A total of 419 students completed the survey (73% completion rate) across the 4 programs. We found that underrepresented minorities in medicine (URM) (p < 0.05) and first-generation (p < 0.01) students rated the importance of an SRC on their matriculation decision significantly higher than non-URM and non-first-generation students. \u0000Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the presence of an SRC may positively impact matriculation decisions and diversification of the student body across certain health professional disciplines.","PeriodicalId":73958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of student-run clinics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48411560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
