Service-learning is defined as “a form of experiential education in which students engage in activities that address human and community needs, together with structured opportunities for reflection to achieve desired learning outcomes. “ (Jacoby 1996) Furco (1996) differentiates it from other types of experiential learning “by their intention to equally benefit the provider and the recipient of the service as well as to ensure equal focus on both the service being provided and the learning that is occurring. Lim and Babar (2016) highlighted the importance of service learning in education of health professionals. They recognised this as an integral tool for students; with an opportunity for inter professional learning, experiential learning, developing skills at managing complexity and understanding the local community better. Allied organisations also benefited, with the opportunity to collaborate and network with academic institutions. What is Service Learning?
