Dear SDOH colleagues,

Community-Campus Partnerships for Health is accepting applications for
our 8th annual Introductory Service-Learning Institute, June 17-20, 2005 in the
Cascade Mountains of Washington State. See below for a detailed
for more details.  Applications are due April 15, 2005.  We encourage
applicants to apply early as space is limited to 23 participants.

Service-learning is an educational methodology based on a community-campus
partnership that combines student community service with explicit learning
objectives.  Service-learning helps to equip future health professionals with
the community-oriented competencies and commitment to civic engagement they
will need to be effective in our rapidly changing health system.   The
institute focuses on the knowledge and skills needed to develop, implement,
evaluate and sustain service-learning courses and programs in the health
professions.

In response to demand by our members and suggestions from past participants,
this year's summer institute features both introductory and advanced tracks. We
believe that bringing novice and experienced service-learning practitioners
together in a retreat setting will enhance the experience of all participants
and further help to create a community of practice.

The institute combines experiential and didactic approaches to teaching and
learning.   Central to the institute design is a mentoring model in which
participants work in small groups and as individuals with mentors to further
shape their own action plans for service-learning sustainability. Experienced
mentors will assist all participants to increase their understanding of
service-learning, plan for service-learning sustainability within their
institution/organization, and develop authentic community-campus partnerships.

Past institutes have drawn participants from a wide variety of disciplines and
professions, including medicine, dental hygiene, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy,
public health, physician assistant, physical therapy, pre-health professions,
residency and social work programs, as well as those from public health
agencies and community-based organizations that have service-learning
partnerships with such programs.
