| مستخلص: | Background and Objectives: Student-run free clinics (SRFCs) are settings in which students in health professions gain clinical experience, often while providing free or reduced-cost health care to the surrounding community. The current literature quantifies the many benefits these clinics provide to their patients and the impact they have on students' future careers; but few previous studies have assessed the financial impact of the education provided at an SRFC. We report on a net educational benefit, an educational benefit to educational cost ratio, and a net educational benefit to educational cost ratio of one SRFC from the perspective of the university. Methods: We calculated the value of education by multiplying all student hours worked in the clinic by the associated value of 1 hour in the typical tuition-based curriculum. Clinic educational costs and student hours were obtained from clinic records from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2022. Results: We found the total educational value students received to be $73,571 over one academic year. The educational operating expenses of the clinic totaled $9,053, resulting in a benefit-cost ratio of 8.13. Conclusions: This analysis demonstrated a potential financial advantage of operating an SRFC when assessing clinic education expenses in relation to the value of university-generated education. Our research may serve as a starting point to showcase the economic benefit of SRFCs to their parent institutions and encourage further analysis of other benefits SRFCs may provide to institutions of higher education. |
