| title | Service Learning Requirement |
|---|
Service-Learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with preparation and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities. (NSLC, 2013).
Our medical students engage in service-learning to provide service in response to community-identified issues and to learn about the context in which service is provided, the connection between their service and their academic coursework, and their roles as citizens and professionals (LCME, June 2013).
Beginning with MD Class of 2018, all USF MCOM medical students are expected to complete a total of 40 hours of service learning.
While students will have until spring MD year four to meet the graduation requirement, we recommend completing the requirement prior to beginning MD year three clinical rotations.

The vision of the MCOM's Student Diversity and Enrichment programs is to encourage and promote an environment that welcomes and embraces diversity in the student body. We diligently ensure that all students feel supported and accepted in order to optimize their educational experience. USF MCOM defines diversity not solely limited to race and ethnicity, but also encompass talents, life skills and special attributes.
Our commitment to diversity extends to:
- Enlarging the pool of qualified under-represented minorities and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds who are interested in pursuing medicine as a career.
- Supporting the holistic review processes by which each applicant's experiences, accomplishments, personal qualities and potential to enhance the learning environment.
- Retaining admitted minority and disadvantaged medical students through the provision of support services.
- Coordinating diversity in medical education activities involving USF MCOM faculty, staff and students.
A diverse student body is a legitimate goal of medical education. In accordance with the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), USF MCOM believes that aspiring future physicians will be best prepared for medical practice in a diverse society if they learn in an environment characterized by, and supportive of diversity and inclusion. As a member of the Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC), USF MCOM is guided by the (LCME) Standards on Diversity. View the Standards on Diversity.
