The bridging the gaps program: three decades of collaborative service-oriented learning in the health professions.
This article describes the long-term impacts of the Bridging the Gaps (BTG) program, a collaborative initiative between academic health institutions and community organizations established in 1991. The study analyzed feedback from program alumni and community partners. Among the alumni surveyed, a significant majority reported that the program broadened their understanding of health issues faced by vulnerable or economically disadvantaged populations (91.8%) and increased their interest in working with these populations (89.2%). The program also had substantial impacts on participants' clinical practice (91.0%), professional roles (93.9%), and research careers (58.7%). Community partners overwhelmingly found the partnership with the BTG program beneficial (97.2%). Many reported that BTG students brought previously unavailable resources to their organizations (67.1%) and that the program strengthened linkages between their agency and other organizations (77.1%). The authors highlight the BTG program as a model demonstrating growth and sustainability in integrating training on social determinants of health through service-oriented learning into health professions education.
