- Abstract
Four medical students conducted a community service program at a local youth custody centre. The program included cooking, exercise, and health-oriented educational discussions. The experience enforced the CanMEDS competencies and allowed the students to develop a greater appreciation of specific health care needs of marginalized populations. This may better prepare students to care for marginalized patients in the future as physicians. Community service learning opportunities are a valuable adjunct to conventional medical education.
