Learning Together: A Reciprocal Experience


Learning Together is a community-based service opportunity program. As an institution, Duke values working with the community through a relationship that places the community's needs and interests first, and then involves learners for a reciprocal experience that benefits all. This is the framework within which we work to improve the health of the community.

• Communities benefit from our program by receiving health-related services and resources they need and want through sustainable projects that learners implement and conduct.
• Communities that participate are more likely to experience improved health status and benefits through the involvement of learners.
• Learners across a wide range of health professions who participate in community-based experiences demonstrate changes in attitudes and beliefs about culturally diverse and medically underserved populations. They indicate a greater sense of self as a provider of health services and a member of the larger community.
• Learners acquire an understanding about community needs, assets, resources, and social determinants of health. Further, it increases the learner’s understanding of working with diverse populations, working in interdisciplinary teams, and appreciating the socioeconomic issues impacting underserved populations.
