Community Service Committee
Community Service Subcommittees
Advocacy
The Mission of the Advocacy Subcommittee is to improve the health of the region by influencing attitudes, stimulating action, and encouraging policies that support good health outcomes
Citizenship
Community Engagement
Education
Community service education is a form of experiential learning where people apply knowledge and critical thinking skills to address genuine community needs. Service-learning combines service to the community with student learning in a way that improves both the student and the community. It fosters civic responsibility and applies classroom and lifelong learning through meaningful service to the community. The Community Service Education Subcommittee is responsible for making sure that our SIU community has:
- An awareness of local resources
- Opportunities to provide community service and reflect upon the benefits of it
- An understanding of how to do a community needs assessment
- An understanding of how to begin to meet the community needs
Research and Technical
The purpose of the Research and Technical Subcommittee is three fold:
- Create a database to be used to catalog and monitor School of Medicine community service, community engagement, and population health activities
- Establish a Community Research Council designed to include patient and community perspectives on research activities
- Provide technical support for the Community Service Committee as a whole and subcommittees individually
The Research and Technical Subcommittee will work with the Community Service Committee and the community to accomplish these objectives in keeping with the mission of both the Committee and the School as a whole.
