      with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a scoping review.

AB  - Diabetes is a major cause of morbidity and premature mortality worldwide and now 
      identified as a 'public health emergency' and a 'modern and preventable 
      pandemic'. Indigenous populations are disproportionately affected by type 2 
      diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and associated complications. Student run free clinics 
      (SRFCs) may play an important role in the prevention and management of T2DM. The 
      primary objective of this scoping review was to investigate the opportunity for 
      curriculum enhancement through the role and effectiveness of SRFCs in managing 
      T2DM. Electronic databases such as PubMed, CINAHL, Science Direct and Cochrane 
      Library were searched from inception to October 2022. Identified records from 
      database literature searches were imported into Covidence((R)). Two independent 
      reviewers screened and extracted the data. The research team collectively created 
      a data charting table/form to standardize data collection. A narrative synthesis 
      was used to summarize the evidence. Six studies (total of 319 participants) that 
      met our eligibility criteria were included in this scoping review. SRFCs can 
      provide high-quality diabetic care, especially for uninsured and economically 
      weaker population. Preliminary evidence further indicate that shared medical 
      appointments and telehealth may facilitate diabetic care especially during times 
      where access to care may be difficult (e.g., COVID lockdown). However, no study 
      included in the review explored or discussed family centred/culturally sensitive 
      interventions. Hence, such interventions should be made part of the curriculum in 
      the future with students in SRFCs exposed to such an approach.
