They attended the Fisherman\u2019s Forum, an annual event that fosters interaction, collaboration, education, and connections for supportive resources among working water people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A collaborative effort with USM\u2019s school of nursing resulted in on site student health screening activities for the fishermen and their families. The students were able to practice working as a multidisciplinary group of peers; in the mix were COM, Dental, and nursing students and their preceptors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AHEC Scholars led the hearing screen station and in just one afternoon administered approximately 40 hearing screens with follow up referrals as needed. They distributed information about hearing health, along with ear plugs to help participants take action that very day by using hearing protection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through AHEC, UNE\u2019s Center for Excellence in Public Health may engage more deeply with the Fishermen\u2019s Forum in the future, noting that the lobstering\/fishing community is an important and often difficult to access population in Maine. We also hope to reach the coastal and island communities more consistently year-round through multiple outreach initiatives and by exploring more collaboration with USM Nursing\u2019s Casco Bay Community Partnership, as we share a mission to increase access and bring health equity to the island\/fishing communities, as well as other underserved populations, within Maine.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Fisherman\u2019s Forum was virtual for the past 3 years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year\u2019s return to an in-person event demonstrated its value within the community-the energy was palpable! The student led participation gave us the opportunity to assess needs and strategize as we plan meaningful engagement with Maine\u2019s fishing community going forward.\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/maineahec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/Fish-F-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/maineahec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/Fish-F-1-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/maineahec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/Fish-F-1-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/maineahec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/Fish-F-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/maineahec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/Fish-F-4.jpg 640w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/maineahec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/Fish-F-4-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pictured: Heidi Fox (COM), Taryn Leach (CDM), Sarah Engels, (CDM)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On March 3, UNE\u2019s AHEC CUP scholars went to Rockport to focus on Maine\u2019s fishing and &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":80,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"post_folder":[],"class_list":["post-372","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
