Community Health Worker (CHW) Program.
Community Health Worker (CHW) Program.
The Community Health Program is an excellent option for students contemplating a career in health or academia who want to make an impact in their community. Students will explore clinical correlates, engage in simulated patient encounters, and develop knowledge and skills in workshops. The students will hear from several physicians and allied health professionals from Columbia University and New York Presbyterian. Students participate in a hybrid interdisciplinary community health program delivered throughout the summer with weekly zooms and monthly in-person sessions. Each student is matched with personal mentors at Columbia; students write weekly reflections, complete validated questionnaires during in-class didactics, and implement a mentored capstone community intervention. Each student chooses 5 family or community members to teach program content to weekly as a health education liaison There are hundreds of office hours over the course of the program to support students. Students are invited to present their projects at a symposium at Columbia VP&S at the end of the summer.
This program is free for students in New York City
