Abstract
Introduction: Service learning allows health professional students to apply acquired knowledge and skills to patient care in community settings while filling local health care needs. Service learning allows students to address patient understanding and behaviors related to their health and wellness. The impact of service learning on pharmacy student development is well documented, but the literature is limited regarding the impact on patients. Lack of understanding of the impact of service learning on patient perceptions, behaviors and health-related knowledge is an obstacle in enhancing service programs to the benefit of the patient.
Methods: A survey was developed to assess patient health related perceptions using the Health Belief Model (HBM) before and after receiving student-provided care at a service learning event. Additional information was collected to assess patient demographics, feedback on events, and view on health-related changes. Service learning events offering clinical services including point-of-care testing, blood pressure measurement, and medication reviews were included in the assessment. Events directed by student organizations and the rural health mobile clinic provide care directed by students as part of the service learning requirement at the College and were included in the assessment
Results: Research in progress
Implications: Research in progress
