What is Critical service-learning pedagogy

University-administered student run free clinics provide health care and enabling services to community members experiencing limited access to care, simultaneously offering direct educational experiences to students interested in careers in medicine. Programs vary in size and scope and are dependent on university and community commitment that considers the needs of the targeted patient population. This descriptive chapter illustrates Stanford University's Cardinal Free Clinic's inclusion of critical service-learning pedagogy within student didactics and experiential learning. The chapter is shared from an administrator's perspective to benefit higher education institutions considering establishing or expanding their SRFC program. While the environment and social context are essential to understand, the inclusion of community cultural wealth awareness, social identity exploration, and active self-reflection within the program will be highlighted. This chapter may benefit administrators interested in including elements of critical service-learning pedagogy in their programs.
