Toolkit for integrating community oriented primary care and cultural competency in medical education through service-learning

Authored by CCPH Fellow Jan Gottlieb this project is a guidebook of practical tools for using service-learning to educate medical students and residents about 1) community-oriented primary care (a process of defining and characterizing a community, identifying the community’s health problems and assets, developing an intervention and evaluating the intervention, involving community members in each step); 2) the Healthy People 2010 objectives and 3) skills for providing more culturally competent care. These tools are based on the service-learning programs offered by the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Family Medicine department – pre-doctoral through residency education, in collaboration with community partners.
