The Global Health Programs aim to expose our students to global health issues, cultural awareness and competence, social justice and healthcare development for disadvantaged communities in the United States and abroad through service learning healthcare programs. Our service learning approach envelopes our academic programs with community service in combination with critical, reflective thinking. Our intention is to serve targeted community needs based on assessments with local leaders; collaborate with the local community; and integrate our programs into our health professions curriculum.
By the end of the physician assistant clinical rotation, the PA student will be able to:
- describe the social determinants of health in the area and their effect on the health status of the patients, families and communities.
- demonstrate knowledge and provision of care for common conditions endemic to the area and awareness of factors that contribute to outcomes.
- describe challenges to health care in limited resource settings and outline possible solutions.
- demonstrate knowledge, skills and attitudes to provide culturally competent care that respects and integrates local tradition, practice and belief.
