This website
provides an overview of service-learning models for health professions
students. Service-learning can be a part of the student’s formal
curriculum or an extracurricular activity for students on community
rotations.There are many benefits to service-learning including that
it can provide the student with a sense of belonging to the community,
thereby increasing the chance that the student may desire to practice
in that community upon graduation.
Please
take the time to confer with your supervisor and contact representatives
of community organizations to identify potential service-learning
activities for health professions students on community rotations
in your region.
If
you have not done so already, please complete the Website Evaluation
and Post-Assessment Surveys. Links to these forms can
be found on the evaluation
page.
