Dear Brian and all,

While I’m not aware of whether our UW School of Medicine’s recent strategic planning includes CE, we’ve recently finished this white paper about how to incorporate CE into strategic plans and planning more broadly; I hope it might be a helpful resource. https://www.washington.edu/cms/community-engagement/resources/strategic-planning/

Warmly,

Jen

Dear Brian,

The UCLA School of Medicine’s strategic plan centers community partnerships among their 4 Mair areas of focus. https://medschool.ucla.edu/about/culture-mission/strategic-plan

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
