General education in the professional curriculum: faculty perceptions of contributions.

This study investigated general education contributions to the professional development of majors in five selected health professional disciplines from 114 accredited programs. The findings identified that the most important general education contributions to health professional development, as perceived by faculty, included abilities to communicate verbally and in writing, to solve problems, to understand one's own and others' behavior, and to develop a personal value system. Although health professional faculty reported strong satisfaction with the size, content, and contribution of the general education curriculum, there was little collaborative curriculum planning between faculty in professional and general education programs. These latter findings are at odds with national reports lamenting the state of general education. A variety of strategies are described for opening channels of communication between health professional and general education faculty and for integrating general education and professional curricula.

A paying health promotion clinic: combining client services and student learning.

Major societal changes over the past two decades have created the need for competent health care professionals able to provide high quality health care in a rapidly changing, highly technical society. To meet this goal, the University of Northern Colorado College of Health and Human Services prepares graduates in a unique multidisciplinary health promotion clinic. Department chairs along with clinic and faculty coordinators manage student-learning and client-service activities in this 9,000-square-foot, on-campus clinic. Income is generated through third-party payments and client fees from programs in nursing, nutrition, communication disorders, human rehabilitative services, and community health. Problems encountered in developing this clinic included staffing, physician consultation, fee assessment, faculty hesitancy, and health care competition. Positive outcomes were a more autonomous professional identity for students, clinic practice and research opportunities for faculty, and health promotion care for selected client groups.
