    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Undergraduate Health Sciences
    • Experiential Learning

    Background:

    • Guided service experiences are standard in graduate medical education but scarce for undergraduates.
    • Premedical students often lack exposure to the social, economic, and interpersonal aspects of healthcare.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the feasibility and benefits of internships for premedical students in health agencies.
    • To evaluate the impact of these experiences on student development and healthcare services.

    Main Methods:

    • 198 self-selected undergraduates participated in individually arranged internships across 101 diverse health settings.
    • Students served in nontechnical roles (e.g., nursing aides, health educators) and completed analytical reports based on observations.

    Main Results:

    • Student and host institution expectations were frequently exceeded.
    • Internships facilitated career decisions, self-directed learning, and showcased noncognitive professional qualities.
    • Students effectively addressed ethical and social issues in patient care.

    Conclusions:

    • Undergraduate students are capable of engaging with complex ethical and social patient care issues.
    • Premedical internships provide high-quality health services and valuable professional development opportunities.
