Leadership in Interprofessional Community Service Learning: Ethics Module

Abstract

Abstract This resource on ethics in community service learning was designed to promote social accountability among health professional students through the integration of meaningful service learning with the core competencies of interprofessional education. This resource begins with background reading, an online presentation of content, and an online discussion question, followed by reinforcement in a class session through a small-group activity and whole-group discussion. The goal of this module is to appreciate the contributions of different health professions in working together as a team and to demonstrate ethical decision-making in educational and professional interactions. This resource enables students from various health science professions to learn with, from, and about each other and each other's roles on a health care team as they examine social determinants of health and social justice issues while applying these principles in a structured service learning practicum.
