“The most unique aspect of ATSU-SOMA is our partnership with the National Association of Community Health Centers and our community health center partner, so our students are embedded there very early in their medical education and start to build that muscle memory for being comfortable in the community health center setting, understanding team-based care, community health, and interprofessional collaboration,” Dr. Obadia said. “When our students are at the community health centers, they are embraced as part of the team. They have a sense of belonging and are actively working to improve the health of their communities in a very real way, and that is unique to our program.”
