Through Southern University’s Law Center, Health Law classes were conducted over several semesters impacting more than 12 students. SU developed a curriculum to support the course. One of the highlights of the course is that students participated in lab sessions to enable them to interact with community residents (individuals, parents and children) who in turn could communicate health concerns, provided information on patient rights, assisted residents in completing various forms and the like. Also, during two sessions of the Baton Rouge Love Heals Free Clinic, various brochures and health information –incorporating accurate and standards-based health and developmentally appropriate health and science information was disseminated by Community Resource vendors and physicians during this event.
