Community Assignment

Community Assessment Windshield/Walking Survey and Needs Assessment Instructions:

1. This clinical assignment gives you the opportunity to perform a community assessment, evaluating available resources. You may choose the community where you live, or a nearby community that you would like to assess. You should have learned about the process of a windshield survey and needs assessment from completing the test on the content. You simulated the process in Shadow Health. Now, you will demonstrate understanding by implementing the process in real life.

2. Correct grammar, punctuation and spelling are expected.

*NOTE: Online resources may be necessary with some statistical data, but should NOT be used to complete the photos within the community. Students should not try to take advantage of the assignment by choosing a small community that doesn’t have a lot of resources. If your community does not have something, where do they go to find it? How far away is it? If your community is lacking significant resources, then choose a different community.
