We’re trying something new! We’ve never offered a summer cohort for Serving the Underserved, but we’re delighted to announce that registration for the Summer 2025 Cohort of Serving the Underserved is now open! Many of you have heard about “Serving the Underserved” already – maybe from upper-class students or at orientation or from other faculty and staff. Serving the Underserved is a certificate course offered by Methodist Healthcare, Church Health, and UTHSC that creates space for productive dialogue about healthcare among underserved populations and how poverty affects the health lives of communities. Classes will be held at Church Health in the Crosstown Concourse from 6-8 PM on 4 consecutive Tuesday evenings, June 3, 10, 17, and 24. We have an exciting and engaging slate of speakers lined up! Spaces are limited, so register today via this form: https://forms.office.com/r/G4jevS9LM5. Childcare is available for those who indicate they need it before May 10.
Serving the Underserved is a core component of the Co-Curricular Certificate in Social Determinants of Health, which is a QEP initiative. Any UTHSC student, faculty or staff is welcome to attend, regardless of certificate enrollment status. For more information about the Co-Curricular Certificate, please visit our website.
