This session will describe an elective designed to foster interest in primary care, in which second year medical students manage operations at a free clinic, establish a continuity relationship with patients, attend a class covering primary care topics, keep a reflective journal, and complete a community project. We evaluated the impact of this course by surveying a sample of 257 alumni who graduated between 2003 and 2007

Despite this educational goal, there is data to show that students are unprepared to perform even basic medical procedures upon graduation from medical school. Our aim was to characterize the experience and opinions of graduating students in acquiring these skills and elucidate predictors of competence.
