Stakeholders planning medical curricula need to be aware of emotional and communication skills that allow students to cope and adjust to stress associated with transitioning to medical studies. ๐—ข๐—ฏ๐—ท๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ. To design a support framework to facilitate first-year undergraduate medical studentsโ€™ social learning and integration skills. ๐— ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜€. This descriptive qualitative case study used multiple data collection methods, nominal group meetings and Delphi questionnaires to explore and understand undergraduate medical studentsโ€™ challenges with social learning and integration factors. These insights were then used to develop the support framework. ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—น๐˜๐˜€. The support framework articulates levels of engagement and actions required to address social learning and integrated factors, namely under- preparedness, peer support, confidence, self-management, alienation and academic advice. ๐—–๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—น๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป. Implementing the proposed support framework on social learning and integration could facilitate the successful transition of first-year undergraduate medical students from high school to university. This framework aids students in dealing with social learning and integrated factors, such as under-preparedness, peer support, confidence, self-management and alienation as well as academic advice using contextualised and appropriate skills and tools.
