Our Initiatives

Guidelines

The Soros Service Program for Community Health Initiative seeks to enhance the exposure, perspective, and commitment of medical students interested in service to vulnerable and special-need populations in Baltimore City. Working with the Baltimore Community Health Consortium, a network of health and social service "safety net" providers, the initiative aims to develop education opportunities for students to gain experience and an appreciation for providing care and becoming advocates within underserved community settings. The initiative also supports the Consortium and its capacity to advocate on behalf of vulnerable and disenfranchised populations and to be a resource for health professions training that imparts a community-based perspective on the education experience.
