The SCOPE community service program is designed to help cultivate health care professionals who are caring, socially responsible and capable of behaving as patient advocates in all practice environments. The SCOPE I service-learning model helps to enable 1) development of relationships and interactions with others, 2) the defining of community, and 3) the maintenance of a balance between personal and professional life. It also aims at developing student cultural competence, communication skills, and enabling a sense of giving back to the community as a crucial part of professional development. Course goals include the following: creating an atmosphere of community-minded oral-health professionals; creating more empathic, personally committed dentists; and improving the willingness of students to treat underserved and at-risk patients.
