PROVIDING COORDINATION AND SUPPORT

COORDINATION

...between our state's academic institutions and local area health care providers to provide sites for health professional students to receive clinical instruction.

SUPPORT

... for health professional students through technology, housing, orientation to rural communities and guidance related to community health projects.

As Ambassadors, Cynthia and Nancie counsel health professions students for careers in primary care to underserved communities. The National Health Service Corps provides
healthcare to more than 3,000 medically underserved areas in the United States by recruiting health professionals to these areas.

"Being an Ambassador for the NHSC is a natural extension of what Nancie and I already do for Upstate AHEC. Our goals are the same: to recruit committed healthcare workers to practice in areas of the Upstate that are lacking good health resources," said Cynthia.

MUSC Interprofessional Service Learning Project (ISLP)

The focus of the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) for the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) is interprofessional education, and has been entitled Interprofessional Service Learning Project (ISLP). This initiative responds to the fact that today's health care system is highly complex and involves interaction of many different health care professionals in providing optimal patient care and advancing biomedical research. ISLP will establish the framework for redesigning MUSC's formal and informal educational programs whereby future graduates not only continue to excel in the academic challenges of their own chosen profession, but additionally excel in today's complex interprofessional health care system.

MUSC students from multiple colleges and programs (i.e., medical, nursing, pharmacy, physician assistant, and health administration) will work together as an interprofessional education team in a community health service-learning project focused on youth obesity. This learning experience is designed to increase the students’ knowledge and skills through interprofessional community health care collaboration in prevention education.

Goal: “to provide health professions students with collaborative, interprofessional learning experiences designed to increase their knowledge and skills in health promotion/disease prevention.”
