Publication Type: Abstract Abstract: Objective: A Nutrition Service-Learning course was developed to provide first-year pharmacy students with an opportunity to develop and demonstrate the attributes and skills necessary to become a pharmacist. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of the service-learning course on the pharmacy students, middle school students and the middle school teachers. Methods: The pharmacy students were enrolled in a one hour service-learning course that provided them with the basic information about a healthy diet and physical activity. The pharmacy students used the course material to teach the middle school students how to make healthy choices and to encourage them to begin and maintain an exercise regimen. In order to evaluate the impact of the course, the pharmacy students were required to complete a pre/post course survey that was designed to measure their perceived changes in themselves as a result of the activity. The survey focused on empathy, civic responsibility, cultural sensitivity, and communication. The middle school students and instructors also completed a survey to measure their perceived value of the service-learning activity. Results: Overall, the pre/post course survey results (pre-87%, post-98%), suggest that the course did have an impact on the pharmacy students. Also, 86% of the middle school students and 88% of the teachers agreed that the experience was beneficial. Implications: Service-Learning courses may be an effective tool to foster empathy, civic responsibility, cultural sensitivity, and communication in the introductory practice experiences.
