Abstrakt: The article "From clinic to community: An exploration of service-learning in medical education" published in Clinical Teacher discusses the importance of service-oriented medical education, focusing on the integration of community service with didactic work and student reflection. The text highlights the Florida Atlantic University's College of Medicine Service-Learning Project, which involved medical students working with a local nonprofit organization to educate underserved children on human biology and health. Through service-learning, students gained valuable insights into community needs, developed communication skills, and fostered a deeper understanding of social determinants of health. The project emphasized the significance of empathy, cultural competency, and community engagement in medical training, ultimately shaping future physicians into compassionate advocates for health equity and education.
