Abstract
Medical school admission requirements increasingly encompass competencies beyond the traditional premedical curriculum, such as service orientation and knowledge of "social determinants of health." The Stanford Help Desk is an undergraduate service-learning program that provides didactic and experientialexposure to the social determinants of health through screening for social and legal needs of emergency department (ED) patients. We assessed student perceptions of program impact through student applications, course evaluations, and an online program survey. This course strengthened students'understanding of theircareer aspirations in medicine. Students were resolved to incorporate consideration of social determinants of health in future practice.
