Education systems and pedagogical practices in global public health are facing substantive calls for change during the current and ongoing 'decolonising global health' movement.

Service learning in public health nursing education: How COVID-19 accelerated community-academic partnership.

Days after COVID-19 physical distancing precautions were implemented, a coalition of community leaders in Baltimore City founded the Baltimore Neighbors Network (BNN), a volunteer network established to provide proactive phone-based support to older adults in Baltimore City. BNN was a community-driven approach aimed at reducing social isolation and improving health equity both during the pandemic and long-term. This paper describes how the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing's (JHUSON) public health nursing clinical faculty and students partnered with BNN to support a community-driven crisis response effort while creatively meeting student learning objectives.
