Community engagement helps to bridge the gap between academic health institutions and the real world.

If you are doing research or designing programs that might directly impact people, your work could be community engaged. Community engagement is an essential part of healthcare and research. Community engagement ensures that the perspectives, experiences, well-being, and needs of community members and patients are amplified when conducting research, promoting public health, or creating policy.
