| Abstract | We describe the establishment and operation of a student-led interprofessional chronic disease prevention and management clinic in regional Australia. Our aim was twofold. First, to report on service delivery, student placement, and health outcome data; and second, to discuss key lessons learned during the first 3½ years of clinic operations. Between July 2019 and December 2022, 146 (79.3%) clinic participants completed the 4-month program and participated in an average of 48.4 occasions of service (total 7,060). The clinic supported 1,060 clinical placement weeks across 147 health students. There was a significant improvement across health measures reported at program completion, with the largest changes observed for the 6-min walk test and preference-adjusted quality of life. Nine key challenges and lessons were identified that affected operations and service delivery, which should be of interest to healthcare teams considering establishing an interprofessional student-led clinic. |
