Background: In 2014, the Faculty of Health Sciences at Walter Sisulu University introduced a 20-week long integrated longitudinal clinical clerkship (ILCC) rotation block as part of its commitment to community-based education and social responsiveness, with the goal of ensuring that the curriculum is updated to align with the contemporary health system challenges in South Africa. Aim: To explore whether medical student participants underwent social and personal transformativelearning in understanding complex societal health needs during their integratedlongitudinalcommunity clerkship program. Methods: This was an exploratory qualitative research study conducted among 113 5 th year medicalstudents based at 8 selected hospitals during their 20-week-long community clerkship. Data were collected through six focus group discussions, complemented by data from reflective learning journal entries. Audio recordings were transcribed verbatim and merged with complementary data for thematic analysis in NVivo Version 13 (R). Results: Adaptation challenges, improved social relations, coping with work demands, acquisition of relevant knowledge and skills, perceived inadequate support from the training institution and perceivedlengthy programme duration emerged as key themes and werelinked to personal and socialtransformation.
