Houston Outreach Medicine Education and Social Services teaches students, in multidisciplinary teams, using the learner-centered model, to provide primary health care to the homeless. ⋯ Student participants, especially basic science medical students, value the program due to its contributions to their professional and personal education, as well as their increased understanding of biopsychosocial issues. Learners develop empathy, compassion, and heightened social awareness.
