The school district has a tremendous role in community and public health, and the community has a reciprocal responsibility to appropriately support the delivery of health care in the school setting. Jeffrey Lamont, MD, FAAP, discusses the need for community awareness of and involvement in local school districts, as well as the role of school nurses and medical advisors in bringing healthy choices to the K-12 classroom.

Drawing on findings from a large-scale study of community engagement efforts at major research universities, this presentation invites participants to consider ways in which staff, faculty and institutional leaders can create more effective bridges to communities to address regional needs. The session tackles key questions such as, “How do we define and understand public engagement at major research universities? What are the roles of university boundary spanners in creating bridges to communities? How might we identify, develop and support boundary spanners to increase the effectiveness of current engagement efforts?” Weerts introduces a boundary spanning model to help practitioners and institutional leaders conceptualize and assess spanning roles at major research universities.

MAP (Mentorship Achievement Program) is a medical student organization that pairs medical students with at risk middle schoolers in the community to foster their development as an individual and also to expose them to opportunities they can have beyond high school that they may not otherwise be aware of. Given the vast differences between the medical students (mentors) and the middle schoolers (mentees), we are offering a program that will provide training for mentors to address issues such as: * ways to relate to a mentee that comes from a very different background * how to effectively build a relationship with the mentee * appropriate roles for mentors in terms of giving advice to mentees * information on how to approach difficult topics * different ways to gain trust of mentees so that they will open up about something if they need to * defining the role of a mentor * direction or purpose to strive towards with developing the relationship These topics and any other relevant information are covered in this session.
