INTER-PROFESSIONAL SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT

As an effort to provide further experience in health education, Upstate AHEC encourages health professions students to participate in community service learning programs like the Inter-Professional Service Learning Project (ISLP). Upstate AHEC is partnering with the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) to provide Health Professions Students with collaborative, community-based inter-professional learning experiences designed to increase student knowledge and skills in health promotion/disease prevention.

Facilitated throughout the academic year during overlapping community-based rotations, ISLP enables MUSC students from multiple colleges and programs (i.e., medical, nursing, pharmacy, physician assistant and health administration) to work together as an inter-professional education team on service-learning projects focused on youth obesity.
