Community-Engaged Learning

Between 2018-2019,  the Stanford Primary Care and Population Health division developed new partnership and placed clinical providers at Ravenswood Family Health Center, Mayview Community Health Center Clinics, Peninsula Healthcare Connection, and Roots Community Health Center. As these partnerships matured, and we responded to new leadership needs at Samaritan House and St. Anthony’s, our community clinics started to welcome learners. Currently, we have continuity of clerkship students, family medicine clerkship students, COMET scribes, and Schweitzer fellows regularly working at our community partner clinical sites. The clinicians in our PCPH community partnership program have created research opportunities for medical students working on their MedScholars projects and service-learning opportunities for physician assistant students. These projects include work on telehealth expansion and bridging the digital divide and an evolving partnership between our PCPH research division and graduate students on retention of high risk clients in shelters.
