“…Through this more intimate process we worked to explain the SWCC philosophy and activities, along with the proposed teaching and learning model. Community dialogues in the development stage of this new initiative provided insight into the needs of the community, while ensuring that existing services would not be duplicated; an approach the literature has noted as important (Clark, Melillo, Walace, Pierrel & Buck, 2003;George, Moffatt, Barnoff, Coleman, & Paton, 2009).…”

“…We are working collaboratively to fill the gaps and provide essential support to Halifax's most marginalized individuals. In a climate of increasing demands for service and limited resources (George et al, 2009), collaboration works to ease some of the responsibility placed on other programs by minimizing waitlists and fostering cooperative case management. Moreover, the Clinic has served as an important bridge, building relationships between Dalhousie University and the Halifax Community.…”

The School of Social Work Community Clinic opened its doors in June, 2014 in a donated space in a local parish hall. With very few resources initially the clinic now has its own rented space, serves a caseload of over 200 marginalized community members and has provided field placement experiences for over 75 BSW/MSW, pharmacy, psychology, nutrition, nursing, and occupational therapy students. In this article, we will highlight the steps we took to create and develop the Clinic with a social justice/anti-oppressive foundation, and the practice-teaching approaches we use with our students. We will also describe how we are integrating an interprofessional and community-university partnership culture in our day-to-day work with marginalized populations. This process will be described and discussed in relation to both interprofessional health education and the provision of relevant and meaningful services to clients. The community development techniques we used to develop our clinic and how we have been able to grow and expand will be highlighted. The partners we have established in government, the university, and the community that have contributed to a more sustainable future are also described.
