Figures & data

Table 1 Sixty volunteers who engaged in SUNDdag categorized according to sex and educational background

Figure 1 Results from the medical students (n=17) regarding the seven roles of a doctor. All questions included the Danish description of each role followed by “On a scale from 1 to 7, with 1 being ‘very much disagree’, 4 being ‘neutral’ and 7 being ‘very much agree’, how did your participation in SUNDdag affect your competencies as ‘role’?” Horizontal dotted line indicates a neutral value. Data are shown as the mean ± standard error of the mean, nonparametric test. **P<0.01, ****P<0.0001 versus the neutral value of 4.

Abbreviation: ns, non-significant.

Figure 2 Collaboration for medical students in SUNDdag and for medical doctors in general. Both must master collaboration with health-related professions and institutions (left side) and with non-health-related professions and institutions (right side) through their work. The collaborators are listed in random order. The figure shows that many collaborators are similar, illustrating the educational value for medical students in a voluntary, interdisciplinary project like SUNDdag. The experiences will be useful to handle health-related as well as non-health-related tasks after graduation.
