COM Outlook - Winter 2016

14 Nova Southeastern University NSU-COM students are ardent participants in numerous medical outreach efforts that stretch across the globe. The goal is for all students to provide altruistic service of their choice— service that directly and tangibly benefits the local, national, or global community at the time when rendered. The community-service requirement also teaches the students to treat all people from every walk of life with dignity and respect, fostering a habit of stewardship for people and the environment. NSU-COM students are fortunate to be in the heart of a community filled with a range of partner not-for-profit organizations, each with a distinct mission in serving the less fortunate among our neighbors. Students who are passionate about working with underserved Hispanic and other ethnic minority cultures spend much of their time volunteering at Light of the World Clinic, where they are the go-to volunteers for several community out- reach events, clinic-based screenings, immunizations, and clinical services.
