The authors, representing two of the "signature" community service learning (CSL) programs in the 2010 Flexner Centenary volume of Academic Medicine, provide details of their programs--Frontera de Salud, a community-based program at the University of Texas Medical Branch, and the East Harlem Health Outreach Partnership, a clinic-based program at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine--specific to the task of integrating CSL into the medical school curriculum. They explain the nature and purpose of CSL, note gaps in the present curriculum which CSL aims to fill and highlight elements of CSL that are highly pertinent to Association of American Medical Colleges, Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and Liaison Committee on Medical Education guidelines for undergraduate and graduate medical education. They also discuss barriers to the integration of CSL into the medical school curriculum and detail ways to overcome the logistic and fiscal challenges involved in making this highly effective and rewarding educational experience available to students of medicine.
两位作者代表了《学术医学》2010 年百年纪念卷中两个“标志性”的社区服务学习（CSL）项目，详细介绍了他们的项目——德克萨斯大学医学分校的基于社区的项目“Frontera de Salud”和西奈山医学院的基于诊所的项目“东哈莱姆健康外展伙伴关系”——具体针对将 CSL 融入医学院课程的任务。他们解释了 CSL 的性质和目的，指出了当前课程中的差距，这些差距是 CSL 旨在弥补的，并强调了 CSL 的一些元素，这些元素与美国医学协会、研究生医学教育认证委员会和医学教育联络委员会的本科和研究生医学教育指南高度相关。他们还讨论了将 CSL 融入医学院课程的障碍，并详细介绍了克服将这种非常有效和有益的教育经验提供给医学生所涉及的后勤和财务挑战的方法。
