For the third year, SEAHEC hosted the Binational Interprofessional Service Learning (BISLE) internship. A collaboration between SEAHEC, the University of Arizona Mel & Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health (MEZCOPH,) and community partners, BISLE brought together 29 students from Arizona and Mexico to work in interprofessional-binational teams to learn what it takes to address community health issues collaboratively. Each team was assigned to work at various sites in and around the sister cities of “Ambos Nogales” – Nogales, Arizona and Nogales, Sonora. The goal of Interprofessional Service Learning is for students to work together across disciplines, creating a learning experience that fosters diverse professional perspectives. What’s most unique about BISLE’s approach to training health care providers is that students not only work across disciplines, but across borders. It is a strategy that helps students develop skills and qualities valued in both U.S. and Mexican health systems. This year’s students represented fields including medical, public health, veterinary, nursing, pharmacy, physical therapy, psychology and education. Participating students from the US represented the University of Arizona (UA) colleges of public health, medicine, pharmacy, and nursing. Students from Mexico represented two of Mexico’s largest private universities, Universidad Vizcaya de las Americas (UVA) and… Continue reading
On July 19-20 SEAHEC hosted 20 students from University of Arizona’s Border Latino & American Indian Summer Exposure to Research (BLAISER.) program. The students arrived in Nogales on Wednesday, July 19th to participate in the local “Fight the Bite” campaign to stop the spread of mosquito borne illness in border communities. SEAHEC has worked with community partners for the past year to address the spread of mosquito borne illness in southeast Arizona. “Fight the Bite,” is a U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention campaign that is implemented at the state and local level across the country. It utilizes a combination of mosquito surveillance, a method of systematically evaluating the mosquito population, collection of data on incidence of infections, and community health education. The combined strategy reduces infected mosquito populations and empowers residents to take steps to minimize exposure to Zika, Dengue, and other illnesses by raising awareness and depriving mosquitoes of habitat. Public health education campaigns also provide unique learning experiences for future health professionals, enabling students to get hands on experience in rural communities that are most in need of health care providers. One member of the BLAISER group commented that “It just gave me a real experience… Continue reading
