Abstract
The UW Health Sciences Mobile Health Outreach (MHO) van is managed by the Interprofessional Education (IPE) Initiative to provide service learning opportunities for students of health-related career programs. Student projects apply to use the van as a means of conducting health outreach activities in underserved communities such as Tiny House Villages, Tent City, or on the street. The MHO van program aims to meet the health needs of unhoused populations in the Greater Seattle area while also providing students with the skills needed to become collaborative, holistic, and patient-centered care providers.
