The Urban Service Track\/AHEC Scholars Interest Groups<\/u> (IG\u2019s) are student-centered and student-led interprofessional learning communities that allow scholars to learn with and from each other while exploring patient population issues and topics. Each IG is supported by second-year co-leaders, a senior student coach, and an alumni partner (licensed professional). The seven IGs focus on the following populations: Adolescents, Behavioral Health, Geriatrics, Healthcare Advocacy and Policy, Pediatrics, Public Health, and Women\u2019s Health.<\/u1:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Throughout the academic year, students discuss their respective populations utilizing content experts\/speakers, scholarship, clinical cases, community service, and advocacy & legislation. In addition, each IG is encouraged to seek service and grant opportunities to serve this community. Each learning community is tasked with developing a poster with an oral presentation and a demonstration activity to be presented at the culminating IG Summit.<\/u1:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n
