背景尽管社会公正在医学专业中的重要性，需要培训卫生专业人员来解决健康的社会决定因素，以及医学学员希望消除健康差距，但本科医学教育提供的社会公正综合培训机会很少。西奈山伊坎医学院的人权与社会正义（HRSJ）学者计划是社会医学的临床前培训计划，由5个部分组成：教学课程，教师和学生指导，社会正义研究项目，纵向政策和宣传服务项目，这篇文章的目的是描述HRSJ课程的设计和实施，重点是HRSJ学者计划的基石：与东哈莱姆的伙伴组织合作实施的纵向政策和宣传服务项目。此外，我们描述了就职的参与者，现在三年级的医学生的定性调查的结果，以了解他们参与这个服务学习的组成部分如何影响他们的临床经验和专业的自我perceptions.CONCLUSION最终，通过实施和评估的HRSJ学者计划，我们展示了一个创新的模式，社会公正教育;服务学习经验对参与者的知识、技能和态度的持久影响;以及通过协作教育模式提高社区改善健康能力的潜力。
BACKGROUND Despite the importance of the role social justice takes in medical professionalism, the need to train health professionals to address social determinants of health, and medical trainees' desire to eliminate health disparities, undergraduate medical education offers few opportunities for comprehensive training in social justice. The Human Rights and Social Justice (HRSJ) Scholars Program at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is a preclinical training program in social medicine consisting of 5 components: a didactic course, faculty and student mentorship, research projects in social justice, longitudinal policy and advocacy service projects, and a career seminar series.OBJECTIVES The aim of this article is to describe the design and implementation of the HRSJ curriculum with a focus on the cornerstone of the HRSJ Scholars Program: longitudinal policy and advocacy service projects implemented in collaboration with partner organizations in East Harlem. Furthermore, we describe the results of a qualitative survey of inaugural participants, now third-year medical students, to understand how their participation in this service-learning component affected their clinical experiences and professional self-perceptions.CONCLUSION Ultimately, through the implementation and evaluation of the HRSJ Scholars Program, we demonstrate an innovative model for social justice education; the enduring effect of service-learning experiences on participants' knowledge, skills, and attitudes; and the potential to increase community capacity for improved health through a collaborative educational model.
