Medical providers do not receive adequate training in primary care of the homeless.\r\nMethods Starting in 2012, a\u00a0comprehensive curriculum was offered to medical students during their family medicine or ambulatory clerkship, covering clinical, social and advocacy, population-based, and policy aspects. Students were taught to: elicit specific social history, explore health expectations, and assess barriers to healthcare; evaluate clinical conditions specific to the homeless and develop plans for care tailored toward patients\u2019 medical and social needs; collaborate with shelter staff and community organizations to improve disease management and engage in advocacy efforts. A\u00a0mixed methods design was used to evaluate students\u2019 knowledge, attitudes, and skills including pre- and post-curriculum surveys, debriefing sessions, and observed clinical skills.\r\nResults The mean age of the students (n\u00a0= 30) was 26.5 years; 55\u2009% were female. The overall scores improved significantly in knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy domains using paired t\u2011test (p &lt;\u00a00.01). Specific skills in evaluating mental health, substance abuse, and risky behaviours improved significantly (p &lt;\u00a00.05). In evaluation of communication skills, the majority were rated as having \u2018outstanding rapport with patients.\u2019\r\nConclusions Comprehensive and ongoing clinical component in shelter clinics, complementary teaching, experienced faculty, and working relationship and collaboration with community organizations were key elements.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s40037-016-0270-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,9]],"date-time":"2016-06-09T07:29:39Z","timestamp":1465457379000},"page":"154-162","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["A collaborative clinical and population-based curriculum for medical students to address primary care needs of the homeless in New York City shelters: Teaching homeless healthcare to medical students"],"prefix":"10.5334","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Ramin","family":"Asgary","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ramesh","family":"Naderi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Margaret","family":"Gaughran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Blanca","family":"Sckell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3285","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"270_CR1","volume-title":"The State of Homelessness in America","author":"National Alliance to End Homelessness","year":"2013","unstructured":"National Alliance to End Homelessness.
