RUUTE Community Engagement Experience (CEE)

The RUUTE Community Engagement Experience (CEE) familiarizes students with identifying community health needs and creating intervention(s) to address that need. Students will become immersed in the community for 4 weeks during the spring of phase 3 via clinical time and community service. By completing this experience in a rural area, students will develop a well-rounded understanding of differences in health systems. CEE also creates mutually beneficial relationships with rural communities. Overall, CEE is a robust learning opportunity for students that fosters foundational, experiential, and interdisciplinary learning in varied cultural, geographic, and socioeconomic settings and we hope it will be highly valued in students’ growth as a healthcare professional.   

If you are a SFESOM medical student interested in participating in CEE, please email madelyn.carter@hsc.utah.edu

Time commitment for Students: 5 consecutive Weeks
