Involving Students in Innovative Integrative Health Care for Inner-City Populations: A Field Trip Workshop
Sponsor: Department of Family Medicine, University of Tennessee
Coordinators: John McCall, PhD, and John Midtling, MD, MS
Memphis has become a national model for integrative health care including inner-city and underserved populations. The Department of Family Medicine has taken a lead role in the involvement of students at innovative integrative health care facilities. Student experiences at these facilities include family medicine directed clinical research, education, and/or voluntary service.
Participants will be given a hands-on guided tour of the Church Health Center and its associated Hope and Healing Center, the Harbor of Health Integrative Medicine Clinic (a national TransforMED demonstration site) and the Arkwings Wellness Conference Retreat Center. Each of these nationally recognized sites is playing a unique role in providing cutting edge integrative healthcare and improving the health of special and underserved populations by addressing the whole person orientation described in the Future of Family Medicine Model.
The field trip will be led by department faculty in conjunction with the family medicine student association. The workshop will conclude with refreshments and a time for discussion. Transportation provided.
($25; Enrollment for this field trip is limited to 30 people.)
