MD Community Service Programs

Community engagement and service-learning enhance medical education by bringing knowledge learned in the classroom to life. These opportunities connect students with communities and provide a solid foundation for professional altruism and advocacy.

The UW School of Medicine and Public Health Office of Community Service Programs aims to create, provide and support community engagement and service opportunities for and by medical and other health professions students.

The Office of Community Service Programs invites students to explore opportunities with community organizations, especially those working with underserved communities. Discover meaningful learning experiences incorporating service and civic engagement and provide useful contributions to community partners.
