Kathleen Rindahl
Abstract
Mobile health programs offer a practical solution for
expanding access to underserved communities while providing students with
experiential learning. This article outlines key steps to implement a
university-based Mobile Health Program, from navigating regulatory requirements
and establishing contracts to building partnerships and securing funding. Since
its launch in 2015, the program described here has served nearly 18,000
patients, engaged more than 4,200 students, and provided over 23,000 hours of
interprofessional service learning. Lessons learned highlight both
opportunities and challenges of implementation, emphasizing sustainability,
collaboration, and adaptability.
