Course: HONR3310 Contemporary Issues in Healthcare
For their final project, students described and addressed real community-based healthcare concerns that relate to their Service-Learning experiences. Through a needs assessment, students identify the issues that impact a specific community based on the broad themes covered in class, i.e. health literacy, social determinants of health, cost, quality and access. Students research and examine identified issues to understand the reasons why they’re problematic for a specific patient population, local community, providers etc. Students describe the intervention/service they provided at their site and how they can measure the impact and sustainability of their proposed interventions.
