Community Service Learning Centers……..A Critical Component to Achieving our Mission
• All CSLCs are ECU owned and operated - intentionally located in areas of need – based on statewide and community needs assessments
• Faculty, staff are all employees of the SODM and all live in the communities they serve
• Partnerships are key – primary health care – and governmental leadership
• Community engaged: Community Advisory Board at each CSLC, participate in health fairs, health screening………are part of the community
• Provide full range of general dental services plus provide a dental home
• Provide care across the state – sites up to 450+ miles apart
• All CSLCs are on same student/patient/financial management system -heavily dependent on technology and VTC and utilize teledentistry
• Economic Impact – annually $1M+ at each location
Community Service Learning Centers……..The Educational Component
• Medical model of education vs. traditional dental model of education
• Each CSLC has 11.5 Faculty & Staff, 4 D4 students and 2 AEGD residents
• D-4 students rotate to 3 different CSLCs for three 8 week rotations – each D4 student spends 60% of their D4 year in the CSLCs
• Students live in three different communities and gain a first-hand awareness the social mission of the school and their impact on the communities they serve
• Gain experience with primary care partners
• AEGD Residents live in the communities all year
• D4 students can perform some clinical skills assessments at the CSLCs
