BACKGROUND
Health professions education recognizes the value of students' engagement in community service, exemplified by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education's adoption in 2007 of a standard requiring service learning opportunities to be available for medical students.
DESCRIPTION
At our institution, a community service office was established in 1993 to provide students information about volunteer community service opportunities.
EVALUATION
Since 1993, more than 150,000 service hours have been performed by students in the community. There has been a clear increase in medical student participation. We have found that medical school community service participation is positively associated with better academic performance and can influence residency selection and participation in service following graduation.
CONCLUSIONS
With the increased need to develop service opportunities for students, institutions will be required to establish infrastructures to support this. We offer recommendations to others interested in a creating a similar office or program for students.
背景
健康职业教育认识到学生参与社区服务的价值，这体现在 2007 年医学教育联络委员会通过的一项标准中，该标准要求为医学生提供参与服务学习的机会。
描述
在我们的机构中，社区服务办公室成立于 1993 年，为学生提供有关志愿者社区服务机会的信息。
评估
自 1993 年以来，学生在社区中已经完成了超过 15 万小时的服务。医学生的参与率明显增加。我们发现，医学院社区服务参与与更好的学业成绩呈正相关，并可能影响毕业后的居住选择和参与服务。
结论
随着为学生开发服务机会的需求增加，各机构将需要建立基础设施来支持这一点。我们为有兴趣为学生创建类似办公室或项目的人提供建议。
