Immersion Clinical: Domestic Option

The Immersion Clinical: Domestic option is an opportunity for a community health clinical practicum. This encounter gives students the opportunity to engage in off-campus experiences serving in communities working with populations who experience disparities, as a way to become active citizens involved in their own communities now and in their future as professional leaders. The program offers students a chance to travel to local, regional, and national locations where they are challenged to provide service and to reflect on those experiences as a way to grow personally and professionally. Participants develop leadership skills, are exposed to new perspectives, and ultimately gain a broader understanding of the concepts of social justice, health inequities, and community partnership. Along the way, students are immersed in new cultures and have life-changing experiences that contribute to positive change within themselves and the world.
