SOURCE Service-Learning Faculty Fellows Program
About the SOURCE Service-Learning Faculty Fellows Program:
SOURCE Service-Learning Faculty Fellows Program is engaging up to 9 faculty members from across the Johns Hopkins University Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health for a one-year term as they become part of a JHU community of faculty who use service-learning pedagogy. Funding for this program is provided by JHU President Daniels’ office.
Service-Learning Definition
“Service-learning is a structured learning experience that combines community service with preparation and reflection. Students engaged in service-learning provide community service in response to community-identified concerns and learn about the context in which service is provided, the connection between their service and their academic coursework, and their roles as citizens.” Seifer S.D. (1998). Service-learning: Community-campus partnerships for health professions education. Academic Medicine, 73(3): 273-277.

FFP Program Goals:
• Assist faculty as they create new or transform existing courses to incorporate service-learning as the pedagogy used.
• Create and expand the network of service-learning faculty who engage in service-learning pedagogy and research.
• Increase the number of experiential learning courses for students in the Schools of Medicine, Nursing and Public Health. Some of these JHSPH courses may also fulfill CEPH practicum requirements.
• Strengthen the connection between the Johns Hopkins University health professional schools and SOURCE community partners in Baltimore City.
• Ultimately, contribute to improving the health—defined broadly—of Baltimore residents.
