Service learning (SL) is a form of community-centered experiential education that places emerging health professionals in community-generated service projects and provides structured opportunities for reflection on the broader social, economic, and political contexts of health. We describe the elements and impact of five distinct week-long intensive SL courses focused on the context of urban, rural, border, and indigenous health contexts. Students involved in these SL courses demonstrated a commitment to community-engaged scholarship and practice in both their student and professional lives. SL is directly in line with the core public health value of social justice and serves as a venue to strengthen community-campus partnerships in addressing health disparities through sustained collaboration and action in vulnerable communities.
服务学习（SL）是一种以社区为中心的体验式教育形式，它将初露头角的卫生专业人员安排到社区发起的服务项目中，并提供结构化的机会，以反思健康问题更广泛的社会、经济和政治背景。我们描述了五个为期一周的不同密集型服务学习课程的要素和影响，这些课程聚焦于城市、农村、边境和原住民健康背景。参与这些服务学习课程的学生在其学生和职业生涯中都表现出对社区参与式学术研究和实践的投入。服务学习与社会正义这一核心公共卫生价值观直接相符，并作为一个平台，通过在弱势群体社区持续开展合作与行动，加强社区与校园的伙伴关系，以解决健康差距问题。
