Program Description
Students are initially exposed to the important social and environmental determinants of health and develop pragmatic methodological skills in community assessment, evaluation and research. Students then chose a path of critical community engagement. Via this path they engage in rigorous and longitudinal community-responsive scholarship with established community-campus partners to assess and reduce health inequities among local underserved communities. Students take elective courses specific to that path and engage in investigative work for their scholarly project. Path 1. Complete an application area. Path 2. Choose appropriate electives for independent scholarship. Path 3. Complete original research (faculty mentored - ), with medscholars funding.
