Summary Models are being tested in seven of the United States whereby grassroots community organizations become coalition partners with professional health schools and local health agencies. The goal of the project is to improve community health through empowerment concepts rather than by an expanded service model. Medical faculties need to develop practice by which their students can learn issues of human development within underserved communities.
