Who We Are
The Pediatric Links with the Community (PLC) Program was founded in 1996 as a resident education program in community health and child advocacy. Each academic year, pediatric, medicine-pediatric, family medicine residents and nurse practitioner students participate in a two-week community-based rotation. During this rotation, residents and students learn first hand about critical community factors affecting child health, while interacting with medical and non-medical providers at over 50 community-based organizations (CBO's) to provide health care and education for under-served children and families in Rochester. The rotation serves as a connection between the residents/students and the community they serve.
