Gain practical experience providing health services to underserved populations in Baltimore City by participating in the School of Nursing Community Outreach Program. This program is a service-learning collaboration between SOURCE, the School of Nursing's Department of Community-Public Health, and various community-based organizations.

Students will work at placement sites while completing the prerequisite course: NR 100.426, Community Outreach to Underserved Communities in Baltimore. In this 1-credit, introductory course, offered during the fall semester, you’ll gain a broad perspective on factors affecting the health of various communities in urban Baltimore.

Once your application is accepted, you will be assigned to a community site based on prior experience and nursing goals. Students typically commit to at least one year of service at a site.
