The academic service-learning described is a course-based service-learning project that integrates community service into the academic curriculum. It not only involves relevant and meaningful service within the community, but also includes a reflective design that addresses curriculum goals.

This article addresses the challenges of allied health education, elaborates on the need for service-learning, and discusses the basic theory of service-learning, as well as describing methods of service-learning integration with curricula. The information provided can serve to guide service-learning integration in future allied health education. |
