AHS and Pre-DMS students are encouraged to participate in community service opportunities: to develop social responsibility and citizenship skills, to build leadership and communication skills, to learn about community health care (and other) needs, and to appreciate diversity influenced by socio-political and economic variables. Because MCHP believes strongly that community service should be a part of the lives of the College community members, all students of MCHP must complete one community service event during their program in order to graduate.
