The Service-Learning
Experience at PCLP
It takes integrated,
collaborative care to serve
the community. Through
PCLP, I gained experience
that I would not otherwise
have received in academics.
In 2017, twelve PCLP
Scholars were placed
with AltaMed Health
Services Corporation in Los Angeles CA. In addition to
being the largest Federally Qualified Health Center
(FQHC) in the country, AltaMed has been a PCLP Site
Partner since 2012. PCLP Scholars have spent time
with AltaMed patients studying chronic disease
management, access to care, and more.

This program has further
strengthened my desire to
be a leader in the realm of
primary care, with an
emphasis on taking care of
those who are the most
vulnerable.
Since 2012, our Scholars have
performed over 74,800 hours of
service in CHCs
As part of our initiative to
serve the Gateway Cities
outside of Boston MA,
Lynn Community Health
Center in Lynn MA
helped four 2017 PCLP Scholars better understand
behavioral health integration, and how primary care
leadership can help stem substance use disorders.
From 2012-2017, PCLP partnered
with FQHCs across 13 U.S. states
Scholar schedules include leadership training, clinical
experience, and service-learning projects.

In their experience with PCLP, our Scholars
study leadership through exposure to
practice management. They improve
clinical skill through care delivery. They
take part in capacity building at CHCs
through site-directed projects that span a
range of topics and issues in primary care.
