Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
We adapted and modified a previously generated survey to better understand the motivations and barriers of medical students to enter primary care. The survey was dispersed to all medical students at LCOM as well as third and fourth year medical students at Ross University and American University of the Caribbean (AUC).

Recommendations for possible intervention were discussed.
