During the five-day "Community and Rural Healthcare Practice" program, medical students from National Tsing Hua University are required to complete three reflective journals based on their daily learning experiences. These journals are submitted on the third day of the program, the fifth day, and within one week after the program concludes. This approach encourages students to engage in self-observation and clinical reflection at different stages of the program.

Unlike their past semester's learning model, which focused primarily on foundational medical sciences delivered through lectures, this program offers a more practical perspective. It allows students to see how foundational medical knowledge is applied in real clinical scenarios. Additionally, students gain a deeper understanding of the essential interplay among knowledge, attitude, and skills—three crucial elements of their future medical careers.

For the teaching partner hospitals and the patients receiving related medical services, the program also yields tangible outcomes. First, as healthcare professionals guide students in providing medical services, the community gains awareness that more publicly-funded physicians will join primary care in rural areas in the future. Moreover, seasoned healthcare providers who have long served these regions experience a sense of generational continuity in primary care through the participation of this new generation of publicly-funded medical students.
