The integration of community health into the clinical background will create a well-rounded, holistic individual who possess not only clinical knowledge, but will see the larger issues surrounding the health of our local community to include social issues, legislation and reimbursement (population health), education of the public (primary prevention and patient education), and improving the quality of care (quality improvement) for our community health partners. These professionals will be an asset to many different types of organizations to include hospitals, home health agencies, governmental agencies, public and community health agencies, insurance agencies, large physician practices, and private practice.
