Nutrition Students Educate the Community

March 8, 2016

Students from the School of Health and Kinesiology’s community nutrition class, in conjunction with AHEC and East Georgia Healthcare Center, participated in a Migrant Farm Clinic at St. Matthews Catholic Church on Saturday, February 13.  The students who participated included Alex Moreno, Kenley Dean, Tom Nagel, Stephanie Sharron, Hannah Wilson and Chaverle Noel. Participants provided education to attendees on nutrition for diabetes, nutrition for high blood pressure and healthy beverages. Not only does the Migrant Farm Clinic provide service-learning opportunities to students in the health care profession, it provides critically needed services to the under-served populations in rural Georgia. The clinic offers migrant and seasonal farm workers access to health resources through health screening services and health education.

Clinical Internship/Practicum Experience Update

Many of the clinical programs offered by the Waters College of Health Professions require a clinical internship or practicum experience to fulfill degree requirements. Pursuant to the University's legal agreements, participants in clinical experiences are required to abide by the workplace rules of the clinical site. The University is aware of recent federal requirements that would mandate vaccination against COVID-19 for those working in certain settings, including health care. At this time, we expect that these new requirements may significantly impact our ability to locate a placement for students who remain unvaccinated. As always, WCHP will continue to make every effort to place students at clinical sites. However, please be aware that we may be unable to locate a site to accept unvaccinated students, which may cause a delay or inability to progress and complete the program of study.
