“…Spencer and Silverman (2001) describe the importance of communication education for medical students and state that undergraduate education should establish a foundation in these skills. Notably, according to Fraile et al (2017), service-learning has proven to develop students’ abilities to educate community members on health-related issues as well as provide them with opportunities to see the impact the environment has on individual health, thus, helping prepare them to communicate with their clients and/or patients.…”

“…As such, health professionals in every discipline must be equipped with the requisite skills to prompt healthy lifestyles. Through service-learning, future healthcare professionals have found they can educate community members on health-related issues and have seen the impact someone's environment can have on their health (Fraile et al, 2017). This was connected to increases in empathy and perspective-taking surrounding the individuals with whom students work.…”

Students who participate in service-learning courses are given the opportunity to apply the knowledge they develop in the classroom to real-world settings while meeting community needs. This study explores how service-learning pedagogy contributes to interpersonal professional skill development in pre-health undergraduate students attending a small, liberal arts college in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Students were enrolled in a required course within the health and exercise science department and were pursuing health-related careers. They partnered with local organizations where they engaged marginalized community members in physically active games and programs to promote health. Students then participated in reflective assignments that were qualitatively analyzed. In total, 103 essays and 10 focus groups were coded and interpreted. Three themes emerged as pre-health professional skills developed through the course: communication, perspective taking, and motivating others. Students indicated that service-learning experiences helped them improve in these areas or brought awareness to their struggles with these skills. This study describes how service-learning pedagogy can be used to expand the interpersonal skills of undergraduate students necessary to promote health in all related professions.

Participation in community services amongst university students is essential to the students, the society, and to the university itself. Higher education has a role to expose students to experience learning in conducting community service projects that could nurture students' physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual developments. Hence, early exposure for Pre-TESL students to be involved in community services in the teaching environment by conducting English language events with primary school students could be beneficial for their future academic and professional endeavours. Fifty Pre-TESL students from Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Melaka campus worked collaboratively with the English Clubs in selected primary schools in Alor Gajah vicinity by conducting a one-day English language programme with primary four to six students. This study examined the positive impacts and challenges of carrying out community service programme. Data was collected through the open-ended question survey to get deeper insights into their learning journey. The pedagogical implications of the findings indicated that by conducting community services in the form of carrying out English language activities in primary schools exposed the tertiary students to learn about teamwork, management, leadership, and other specific skills essential for the development and professionalism of future ESL teachers.

Nüfus yapısındaki değişmeler, bilimdeki ilerlemeler, kişilerin ve küreselleşen toplumların beklentilerindeki artış gibi sağlıkta paradigma farklılaşması sebebiyle, sağlık eğitimi her geçen gün daha önemli bir hale gelmiştir. Ülkemizde sağlık eğitimi kapsamında üniversitelerde tıp doktorluğu, diş hekimliği, eczacılık, fizyoterapistlik, hemşirelik, ebelik, sağlık teknikerliği ve diğer bazı sağlık mesleklerine yönelik hizmet öncesi eğitim programları verilmektedir. Kanunlar ve yönetmeliklerin yanı sıra sağlık eğitimi politikalarına ve uygulamalarına yön veren uluslararası antlaşmalar, hükümet programları ve kalkınma planları gibi bir dizi unsur bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Türkiye'de son iktidar döneminde sağlık eğitimi politikalarını incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla AK Parti iktidarları döneminde hazırlanan Kalkınma Planlarında yer alan sağlık eğitimi politikaları incelenmiştir. Tarama modeli ile yürütülen bu araştırmada veriler doküman analizi yöntemlerinden betimsel analiz tekniği ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda ulaşılan bazı sonuçlar şunlardır. Dokuzuncu Beş Yıllık Kalkınma Planında çoğunlukla sağlık personeli açığının giderilmesine yönelik olarak eğitim programlarının kontenjanlarının arttırılması gereği üzerinde durulmaktadır. Onuncu Beş Yıllık Kalkınma Planında ise nitelik sorununun üzerine daha çok önem verildiği görülmektedir. Dokuzuncu Beş Yıllık Kalkınma Planında yaşam kalitesinin yükseltilmesine yönelik sağlık araştırmalarının öncelikli alanlar olarak destekleneceği belirtilmiştir. Onuncu Beş Yıllık Kalkınma Planında tamamlayıcı tıbbın önemi vurgulanmış ve tamamlayıcı tıbbın, tıp eğitimine entegrasyonunun sağlanacağı belirtilmiştir.
