Advancing Community-Based Teaching and Research: Ways & Means to Demonstrate Excellence of Academic-Practice Partnerships

Much more has been accomplished through the academic-practice partnerships highlighted in this session than could have been achieved by the component parts alone. Furthermore, innovative collaboration in community-based teaching and research by academicians, community health centers, and health departments is producing a new category of meaningful scholarship that enhances the voice and participation of community members while advancing the academic missions of universities as well as the careers of practice-oriented faculty. Integrated approaches to professional education that foster citizen involvement in community health initiatives, the creation of a “teaching” health department, student involvement in community-based maternal and child health research, and faculty portfolios that document community scholarship in order to maximize promotion and tenure will all be covered by the panelists in this session.
