Aplin-Snider, Christina; Vossos, Helene
Journal of Service-Learning in Higher Education, v14 2022
Background: Service-learning has long been identified as a mechanism to augment traditional classroom pedagogies. With the recent increase of preceptor shortages and decreased access to clinical hours for nurse practitioner students, service-learning activities are an innovative way for NP students to gain knowledge and exposure to clinical situations including interdisciplinary learning. Purpose: The development of a service-learning course and the journey the NP students and faculty experienced is explored in this article including the course outcomes and the student and faculty perspectives as well as the student preparation for the event. Methods: This was a descriptive study with the student and faculty experiences described as such. Results: Students and faculty were able to experience life changing interactions with patients who had significant health disparities. In the 28 hours they were at the event, their lives were forever changed and their journey is chronicled here.
