The 1st Annual CHSC Statewide Symposium held November 6, 2009

November 18, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

On Friday, November 6, 2009, Collegiate Health Service Corps participants, college and community agency liaisons and AHEC staff from across the state gathered at the UCONN Heath Center in Farmington, Connecticut for the 1st Annual Collegiate Health Service Corps Symposium. The event gave each of the five Connecticut CHSC program participants an opportunity to both showcase their own service-learning projects, and to see what other students from across the state have been doing in the CHSC. Students from each of the five Connecticut CHSC programs presented posters highlighting a key service-learning project for each college.

Students also enjoyed an introduction by Dr. Bruce Gould, Director of the Connecticut AHEC program, and a special Keynote by Dr. Cato T. Laurencin, M.D., Ph.D., the Dean of the UCONN School of Medicine. Six students from across the state were chosen to receive Dr. Bruce Gould Service Awards to recognize their accomplishments and dedication to their respective CHSC programs. For Southwestern AHEC’s Southern Connecticut State University CHSC program, Student Director Andrew LeVino and Student Manager Amy Bilodeau were honored with the award.

Community Health Outreach Worker Training

November 17, 2009 By Milagrosa 1 Comment

A Program of Southwestern Area Health Education Center

Southwestern AHEC has the opportunity to return to a successful program it last conducted in Bridgeport in 2004. Under a contract with the Community Health Center Association of CT (CHC ACT), Community Health Outreach Workers will be trained to be integral members of the health care delivery team, providing appropriate services to underserved clients and diverse communities, such as immigrants.

The overall goal of this initiative is to increase the percentage of eligible children who are enrolled in HUSKY, the State’s Medicaid program for children. Community Health Workers (CHWs) who are familiar with the community and can present the HUSKY opportunity in a family-friendly manner are often most successful in meeting this goal.

Some of the specific objectives of the Community Health Outreach Worker training curriculum are to:

  • Develop effective communication, advocacy, and culturally appropriate outreach and enrollment services.
  • Learn data collection and documentation procedures.
  • Learn to develop goals and treatment planning necessary to impact communities served.
  • Become familiar with community agencies as referral sources and collaborative partners.
  • Develop teamwork skills.

Southwestern AHEC’s Community Health Worker Curriculum further developed when serving as a Technical Assistance partner in the Community Health Worker National Education Collaborative, www.chw-nec.org from 2005 – 2007. This allowed us to participate in sharing best practices for educating Community Health Workers with others across the USA.

What is Service Learning?

November 16, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Service Learning is the Link between Academic Study and the Practical Experience of Community Service.

Service-Learning

As defined by the International Partnership for Service Learning and Leadership (2008): Service learning is the pedagogy that links academic study with the practical experience of community service. It has become an international movement that offers new approaches to teaching and learning and to the civic engagement of institutions of higher education. It provides students with an education that meets the highest academic standards and delivers meaningful service that makes a difference to the well-being of society.

Service learning aims to develop in students a life long commitment to service and leadership. It promotes understanding of local issues as well as recognition of the interrelatedness of communities and societies across the world.

Collegiate Health Service Corps Participants do not simply volunteer, instead they are provided with a structured learning experience that combines community service with academic preparation and reflection.

Southwestern AHEC Honors Two Top-Performing Pediatric Offices

November 11, 2009 By Joan Leave a Comment

Two pediatric physicians groups in Bridgeport received honors from the CT Department of Public Health (CT DPH) this year for having at least 90% of their two year old patients up-to-date with the recommended schedule of childhood vaccines.

 Main Street Pediatrics and Optimus Health Care on East Main Street held the top spots this year among all pediatric and family practices based in Bridgeport. A framed Certificate of Recognition was presented to each practice by Joan Lane and Milagrosa Seguinot of Southwestern Area Health Education Center (AHEC), the local agency contracted as part of the CT Immunization Action Plan Program. Joan and Millie work with local medical offices to ensure that children are enrolled in the CT Immunization Registry and Tracking System (CIRTS). CIRTS helps doctors and families maintain updated, comprehensive vaccine records for enrolled children. These records are invaluable when children enter day care or school, change pediatricians, or move out of state.

“We are delighted to receive this recognition for our vaccination efforts,” said Dr. Umanga Dawlaga, Director of Pediatrics at Optimus Health Care, a federally qualified health center with offices in Bridgeport, Stratford and Stamford. This was echoed by Drs. Sarah and Roy Schutzengel of Main Street Pediatrics, whose practice has had up-to-date rates of greater than 90% for 3 consecutive years.

Southwestern AHEC, a non-profit agency based in Trumbull, works to improve access to quality primary and preventive healthcare in southwestern CT by connecting students to careers, professionals to communities, and communities to better health.
