PA students participate in a wide variety of volunteer opportunities
throughout their time in the program. One of the greatest opportunities
is participating in NSU's annual Florida Rural Medical Mission.
This mission targets an underserved population in Belle Glade and the
surrounding rural Glades communities.
Students throughout the Health Professions Division (HPD) are involved
in an interdisciplinary service-learning experience. The services included
are: screening physicals for children and adults, Osteopathic manipulative
therapy, and various screenings such as diabetes, cholesterol, body mass
index, blood pressure, mammography, bone density, eye and dental exams,
gross and fine motor exams, and mental status screening.
Other opportunities include medical outreach trips to Guatemala and participating
in numerous health fairs throughout South Florida.
