Abstract:
|
Community engagement initiatives focus the resources of the academic institution on real, community-identified needs in authentic environments. When developed carefully, community-engaged activities offer meaningful learning experiences for health professions students to apply health promotion and disease prevention skills while allowing introduction to the broader concepts of the core functions and essential services of public health fundamentals. Consistent with AACP’s Caring for the Underserved Curriculum and CAPE educational outcomes, the Office of Interprofessional Scholarship, Service and Education (OISSE) within the School of Pharmacy and Health Professions, initially developed grass-roots, community-based learning activities for clinical doctoral students in pharmacy, occupational therapy, physical therapy and graduate nurse practitioner students. While early activities focused on health promotion skills, the learning initiatives are maturing to include an explicit focus on other dimensions of health beyond individual patient care. The purpose of this poster is to describe the development and expansion of service learning activities to formalized, community-engaged learning experiences that visibly link to the fundamental concepts in public health education. This is accomplished by viewing the existing health promotion activities through the “lens” of the four Core Functions (Assessment, Assurance, Policy Development and Systems Management) and ten Essential Services of public health. Analysis identifies aspects of the community-engaged learning experiences that currently support student learning and reveals multiple areas that may be augmented to deliberately integrate public health education into health professions curricula. In addition, the critical elements of the faculty-driven infrastructure to coordinate and sustain community-engaged health education will be discussed. |
