BACKGROUND
Undergraduate medical schools serve a critical role in providing screenings to medically underserved populations through the use of health fairs. Non-profit community organizations (NPCO) often participate by providing local credibility, administrative resources, and technical knowledge. Here we present a three-year narrative of hepatitis B and C screening efforts to highlight the challenges and benefits of undergraduate medical school and NPCO partnerships.
METHODS
Hepatitis screenings were conducted at biannual health fairs in Harlem, New York from 2017 to 2019. Meeting minutes from post-event debriefings were analyzed to identify any overarching themes with NPCOs.
RESULTS
NPCOs share a common goal in working with the community to advance their access to medical care and treatment. Communication and prompt follow-up are critical to maintaining expectations between NPCOs and health fair organizers.
CONCLUSIONS
NPCOs can play an important role in encouraging, outreaching, and even managing hepatitis screening initiatives in conjunction with medical school health fairs.
背景
本科医学院校在通过健康博览会为医疗服务不足人群提供筛查方面发挥着关键作用。非营利性社区组织（NPCO）通常通过提供当地信誉、行政资源和技术知识来参与其中。在此，我们呈现了一段为期三年的乙肝和丙肝筛查工作历程，以突出本科医学院校与NPCO合作的挑战和益处。
方法
2017年至2019年期间，在纽约哈莱姆区每半年举办一次的健康博览会上进行肝炎筛查。分析活动后汇报会的会议记录，以确定与NPCO相关的任何总体主题。
结果
NPCO在与社区合作以促进其获得医疗护理和治疗方面有着共同目标。沟通和及时跟进对于维持NPCO与健康博览会组织者之间的期望至关重要。
结论
NPCO在与医学院健康博览会联合开展肝炎筛查倡议方面，可在鼓励、推广甚至管理方面发挥重要作用。
