ABSTRACT
This research paper reflects on the implementation of the service-learning methodology (A+S) in the Public Health course in the Dentistry program at the University of Antofagasta, Chile. The purpose of the authors is to present the stages of implementation of a service-learning experience using the PARE model (preparation, action, reflection and evaluation) as a frame of reference. This experiential learning strategy reciprocally benefits the students in the achievement of their learning and the community where the service is developed. The authors consider of special importance the instance(s) of reflection where the student analyzes his/her own experience. The implementation of the methodology implies challenges in time management and communication among the participants of the experience: the community, the students and the teachers.REFERENCES
