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
