Preparing for Community Health Engagement & Service Learning

3 credits · Medicine

This SC core course builds on the foundational concepts introduced in Med269A and prepares learners to apply those concepts to real-world health equity challenges. Over 10 weeks, students will learn practical tools and develop strategies to address health equity challenges across various levels of the community health landscape. Through individual and group activities, students will examine real-world problems and begin to develop their identity as community health advocates. A practicum project introduced early in the course will provide an opportunity for students to apply newly acquired knowledge and skills to a specific area of interest or service.nnNote: This course is required for Track A of the HEE Scholarly Concentration. Students not enrolled in the scholarly concentration may enroll with the consent of the course director.
