The P.L.U.S. Impact

The impact of PLUS extends beyond the classroom by creating meaningful connections between medical students and the Houston communities they will serve. Through sustained partnerships with community organizations, students gain a deeper understanding of the social, cultural, and environmental factors that influence health while developing the skills and perspectives needed to become compassionate, community-informed physicians.

As PLUS continues to grow, we are building a foundation for lasting relationships between McGovern Medical School, our community partners, and the future physicians who will carry these experiences into their practice. This page will highlight the stories, experiences, and outcomes that demonstrate the ongoing impact of service-learning in medical education.
