Dear Brian,
The UCLA School of Medicine’s strategic plan centers community partnerships among their 4 Mair areas of focus. https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://medschool.ucla.edu/about/culture-mission...
I’ve been working with a number of colleagues at the school of medicine who are integrating community-engaged learning into their curriculum. I haven’t drilled down into their strategic plan to see whether the plan itself references these curricular activities, but I can certainly help connect your colleagues at Rutgers Health with colleagues here at UCLA.
Best, Shalom

Everyone:
I was approached by our sister institution Rutgers Health around increasing service-learning opportunities within the area of health professions. They are working on a new strategic plan. I am wondering if any campus knows of how their health professions schools/departments were able to expand their service-learning opportunities and/or recently did a new strategic plan that I could potentially refer them too.
Thanks
