This is a 1-unit course designed to introduce students to the service learning and experiential learning components of the SJV PRIME+ pathway. Throughout the academic year, this course will provide opportunities to understand the importance of community engagement within the healthcare system as well as provide the opportunity to learn about clinical practice through direct shadowing of physicians.
This will be accomplished through a combination of:
- Classroom Seminars
- Experiential Learning
- Service Learning
- Community Engaged Research
(Students will be introduced to community engaged research by providing them an opportunity to integrate their service learning and experiential learning experiences into one poster project. Time will be provided during the semester to begin identifying a research mentor and opportunity.)
Students will be expected to dedicate time outside of the classroom on a weekly basis for experiential learning and service learning. The SJV PRIME+ community engagement team will work with students to find placements for both service learning and experiential learning.
For more information on the SJV PRIME+’s service and experiential learning components, please refer to the Community Engagement Plan.
