This institute is designed for faculty, staff and community partners who
are new to service-learning or have become involved in service-learning
only recently. If you would like to expand the community-based component
of your curriculum, develop or strengthen partnerships with community
organizations, or better equip future health professionals for
community-based practice, this institute is for you!  Service-learning is
an educational methodology based on a community-campus partnership which
combines student community service with explicit learning objectives.
Service-learning holds great promise for equipping future health
professionals with the comnunity-oriented competencies and civic
responsibilities they will need to be effective in our rapidly changing
health system.

Amy Hilzman, Lifelong AIDS Alliance
