Lessons learned from implementing health systems science and community service course for fourth-year medical students
We described the implementation of a post-clerkship course on health systems science integrating with community service and service-learning. A major lesson learned was the need to take an iterative approach in building components like service-learning and addressing challenges, including student buy-in.
