Abstract
There is a growing focus on the social missions of medical schools as a way of expressing an institutional commitment to service, responsibility and accountability. However, there has been little exploration of how a social mission translates to student experiences. This multicentre study explored how the social missions of eight medical schools (from Australia, Belgium, Canada, the Philippines, South Africa, Sudan and the USA) translated to their medical education programmes, and how their students perceived the mission. The study used a nested case study design involving interviews with final-year medical students. Constructivist grounded theory techniques were used to analyse the data. Cultural-historical activity theory concepts of externalisation and internalisation were used to structure the analyses.
