Purpose
Medical students often lack structured exposure to the social factors that influence health outcomes. To address this, we developed and implemented a one-week training module on social prescribing aimed at pre-final year and final year undergraduate medical students. The goal was to sensitize them to the importance of recognizing and addressing patients’ non-medical needs through community-based interventions.

Methods
A total of 137 pre-final year and final year medical students participated in the program. The module included scenario-based discussions, guided reflections, and structured skill-building sessions. Key focus areas included food insecurity, mental health, physical inactivity, social isolation, and access to community support. Students were trained to recognize social determinants and refer patients to appropriate services. Pre- and post-module assessments evaluated changes in knowledge, attitudes, and confidence related to social prescribing.

Results
Post-module evaluations showed a significant improvement in students’ awareness and understanding of social determinants of health. Over 88% of students reported an increase in confidence in integrating social context into patient care. Reflective submissions demonstrated enhanced empathy and a shift from disease-centered reasoning to holistic care. Faculty observed stronger clinical insight and active engagement during discussions.

Conclusion
A focused training module on social prescribing can lead to measurable improvements in students' readiness to incorporate social determinants into clinical care. Early curricular exposure promotes the development of socially accountable physicians equipped to address health disparities through community-oriented practice.
