Community and Clinical Work
Rooted in the Jesuit mission, Saint Louis University鈥檚 Doisy College of Health Sciences collaborates across disciplines and departments to serve the surrounding community.
Our programs offer undergraduate and graduate students the chance to influence and impact the community through academic and volunteer opportunities.
Students gain experience in their discipline while providing health care services to the community through the speech-language and hearing clinic, among others. In addition, they educate elementary-age children in St. Louis public schools about nutrition and gardening, run a community caf茅 and participate in food innovations.
