“Academic-Community Partnerships to Enhance Student Education and Wellness of Disabled/Injured Populations”
In this presentation, we will share our idea and establishment of a wellness class for individuals with disabilities. The class utilizes the idea of using student wellness coach approach as a way to build partnerships between the academia and the community. The goals of the wellness class are to 1) provide valuable hands-on patient experience that will better prepare UGA students for future professional training in the field of healthcare; 2) offer an affordable and sustainable wellness program that serves as a motivational and educational resource to help people with disabilities adopt a healthy lifestyle. We will discuss our instructional experiences and how the class has been evolved over the three semesters that has been taught.
