About
the Curriculum
New
York Medical College's School-Based Health Center (SBHC) Curriculum
provides an opportunity for residents and students to work with clinicians
in elementary school and middle-school SBHC's to learn the benefits of
providing preventive and acute illness care in a community-based setting
and to develop a deeper understanding of several aspects of child health:
the impact of culture on health and health care; risk assessment
and risk-reduction counseling in pre-adolescents and adolescents;
nutritional assessment and counseling in adolescence; school-based asthma
programs; and mental illness in elementary and middle-school children.
The curriculum is being developed and implemented with funding from
the New York State Department of Health.
This
project is a collaboration between the New York Medical College Department
of Family Medicine and the Center for Primary Care Education and
Research,
and St Joseph's Medical Center and its YonkerSpectrum Program
This
website provides links to resources concerning SBHC's and the key topics
above.
