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.
