Future Practitioners...
Health professions trainees at UC Davis benefit from cutting edge training both in the hospital and outside of it. Trainees learn to see themselves as beneficial resources to the communities in which they practice medicine, both personally and professionally, and are encouraged to explore their roles beyond the "white coat."
Using a three-pronged approach to teaching resident physicians about community and community health ensures that there is something for everyone. Trainees learn through hands-on, interactive meetings, events and experiences right in their assigned communities; they are supplied reading materials and reflection tools to gain insights and knowledge about their experiences; and they are provided with didactic education where community members and respected professionals speak together about topics from Asset-Based Community Development to informing parents on how to choose quality childcare. For more information to view some of these tools, please see our Resources page.
Finally, trainees work with their community partners to identify a health issue of interest; and use local community assets to plan, implement and evaluate a project that addresses the issue. Read more about these intervention on our Projects page.
...and Practicing Healthcare Professionals
The goal of involving local practitioners in the work of CHPT is based on two ideas:
1. CHPT is dedicated not only to training future healthcare professionals in community health and advocacy, but practicing healthcare professionals as well; and
2. Practicing healthcare professionals can serve as terrific mentors for trainees, especially in the area of working in the community and hands-on work with children and families.
