What is a community-based curriculum?
Unlike more traditional curricula, our students begin their clinical experience in the community or “neighborhood” and learn their basic skills in this setting. Since our curriculum is grounded in the community, our students maintain a presence in their community throughout the four years. They also have an appreciation of the emerging spheres of health care needs such as the health promotion needs of the community, the management of long term care, and chronic care needs of aging citizens.
