Community Engagement
Much of what physicians learn as community-engaged activists takes place outside of the hospital and clinic environment. As such, we encourage our residents to collaborate with local partnerships and use their training to support policy changes which benefit the communities they serve.
Below are just a few examples of our residents out in the community. Outside of direct patient care, we perhaps make the most impact with our longitudinal community medicine work.
