Abstract

In this narrative account, we describe our experiences as medical students coordinating a health fair in collaboration with a student-led free clinic. We gain insights into the challenges of delivering healthcare beyond the walls of a clinic or hospital. This article explores the importance of integrating community-based initiatives into medical student education.
