Workshop Objectives• Describe key principles of community
engaged workplace learning• Discuss the benefits of conducting needs and
resource assessments of both learners and sites
• Develop a plan for placement of learners at a site
• Devise a placement guideline template that can be used for a range of placements
• Identify existing resources to help prepare learners and sites
Workshop Agenda• Introductions• Presentations• Introduction of template examples• Small group work on template/checklist
development• Report back to large group and refine
template• Future plans and evaluation
Classroom and Workplace Learning
Classroom Workplace
Learner Identity Student Novice professional
Knowledge is • Situated in more controlled environments and activities – e.g. planned activities, individual or group assignments
• Decomposed
• Situated in more routine practice, authentic problems, and co-participants – e.g. discussions on rounds, charts, development of plans
• Integrated
Performance is Demonstrated on exams, behavior in simulated situations
Demonstrated through completion of tasks & Participation in real work
Valued Outcomes include
Mastery of facts, conceptual understanding, critical thinking
Finding solutions to unanticipated problems, Efficiency, Effectiveness (meeting quality standards)
Communities of Practice
• Learning occurs through social interaction and participation
• Learners begin as peripheral participants, gradually gain legitimacy and move from the periphery to more central roleso Student run clinicso Health coaching programso Action Research Program: Cardiology clinic
• Teachers are just one of many resources for learning

Community Engagement
• “The process of working collaboratively with and through groups of people affiliated by geographic proximity, special interest, or similar situations to address issues affecting the well-being of those people”
• Goals are to: o build trusto enlist new resources and allieso create better communicationo improve overall health outcomes
CDC, 1997
Service Learning“…a structured learning experience that combines community service with explicit learning objectives, preparation, and reflection.”
From: Seifer et al, Creating Community-Responsive Physicians: Concepts and Models for Service-Learning in Medical Education, 2000.

Service Learning…• Developed, implemented, and evaluated in
collaboration with the community• Responds to community-identified concerns• Attempts to balance the service that is provided
and the learning that takes place• Enhances the curriculum by extending learning
beyond the lecture hall and allowing students to apply what they are learning to real-world situations
• Provides opportunities for critical reflection
10
Service Learning v. Traditional Clinical
Education
• Balance between service and learning objectives
• Emphasis on reciprocal learning• Emphasis on more than individual
interactions• Emphasis on reflective practice• Integral role of community partners

Principles of PartnershipUCSF’s University Community Partnership Office encourages all partners to adhere to the
following principles of partnership, adapted from Community Campus Partnerships for Health:• Partners have agreed upon mission, values, goals and measurable outcomes for the partnership.• The relationship between partners is characterized by mutual trust, respect, genuineness and
commitment.• The partnership builds upon identified strengths and assets, but also addresses areas that need
improvement.• The partnership balances power among partners and enables resources among partners to be
shared.• There is clear, open and accessible communication between partners, making it an ongoing priority
to listen to each need, develop a common language and validate/clarify the meaning of terms.• Roles, norms, and processes for the partnership are established with the input and agreement of all
partners.• There is feedback to, among, and from all stakeholders in the partnership, with the goal of
continuously improving the partnership and its outcomes.• Partners share the credit for the partnership's accomplishments.• Partnerships take time to develop and evolve over time.• Partners embrace the art of evaluation, documenting whenever possible their process and measuring
their interventions to create transparency, accountability and replicability.• Partners plan together the dissemination of research findings into translatable and practical
applications with the community.

Assessment of Needs and Resources

Partnership Clarity• Who are we separately?
o What are our missions/goals?o What are our needs?o What are our resources?
• Who are we together? Do we have a shared mission/goal?
• How will we agree to proceed?o What will we do together?o What are our respective roles?o How will we keep communication open?
• What will we both get out of this partnership?• How will we share power and/or redress power
imbalances?

MOU: Support for Role Clarity
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU):• Who are the partners?• What are they going to do together?• What are their respective responsibilities?• Timeframe• Signed by responsible parties
Then do it!
