Community Engagement, Service, and Impact
The Department of Health Sciences is dedicated to community involvement and to developing key principles for engaging communities. This commitment involves supporting faculty, staff, and students in forming authentic community partnerships to enhance the health and wellbeing of communities in N.C., the U.S., and the globe. We strive to incorporate rural and interprofessional practice opportunities, among others, with our students and campus and community stakeholders. Our international service prioritizes connections and initiatives consistent with UNC-CH goals. These goals include:
- Define priority communities for expanded engagement opportunities
- Develop sustainable plan for priority community engagement
- Develop structure for collaborative evaluation of service initiatives within priority communities
