  • National Health Service CorpsTools to Prepare Providers for Underserved Areas
    The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Educational Program for Clinical and Community Issues in Primary Care is a series of educational materials and activities designed to interest health professional students and practicing clinicians in providing culturally competent primary care services to medically underserved communities. It was developed in response to the need to effectively prepare and encourage current and future generalist practitioners to provide medical care to disenfranchised populations. The American Medical Student Association (AMSA) Foundation, under contract with the NHSC, updated and added modules to the original set developed by AMSA for the NHSC in 1981. These modules were developed by experts in the field, with input from health professional students, educators and primary care providers from underserved practices.
