Interprofessional teams of students come together to engage in a fun and interactive experience that enables the students to meet and interact with their longitudinal team members, develop a greater understanding of the local community, and learn about and utilize tools and resources that positively impact challenges within our community. Students will learn how community organizations serve our central Ohio neighbors, contribute to health and wellness, address social determinants of health, and how they could potentially get involved.
