Medical students have voluntarily initiated service‐learning programmes with the aim of providing assistance to medically underserved communities, especially within remote indigenous villages. However, their values and goals have been challenged because rural health care demands have changed considerably since the introduction of integrated delivery system (IDS) programmes, that is, programmes that integrate local health care providers with outreach services provided by contracted hospitals. Our study aimed to explore how a health care service‐learning group negotiates its position and how it responds to the tension of IDS implementation and changes in rural health care demand.
