NOTES SECTION The Silliman University Marina Mission Clinic (SUMMC): A Healing and Teaching-Learning Facility of Community Extension in Silliman University [1] Novee E. Maestrecampo Jr., MPA [2] Emervencia L. Ligutom, MSW [3] The Silliman University Marina Mission Clinic (SUMMC) has sustained its existence for the past 47 years. The clinic traces its history from the missionary spirit of the fraternal workers at Silliman University in the early 1900s. It aimed to bring the Christian mission of healing for the marginalized barrios of Negros Oriental with health as an entry point for community organizing. SUMMC was set up in the Municipality of Dauin (16 kilometers south of Dumaguete City) in 1972 as an extension community clinic of the Silliman University Medical Center (SUMC) in Dumaguete City. The goal of SUMMC was to serve the rural barangays in Dauin. One of its notable services to the community was the maternity clinic. Being an extension of SUMC, SUMMC started with the “Bio-Medical” model of community health care. In the past one-and-a-half decades, more SUMMCs had been established to focus on the barangays that are remote from the clinic. Community organizing and development that addressed “health concerns” was used as an entry issue to the community. Later on, there was a shift from “Bio-Medical” model to the “Bio-Social” model of community health care. Since the last decade, more academic units of Silliman University have put emphasis on learning in and with the community through the immersion of learners in real-world situations. Experiential Learning and Service Learning were used as pedagogies, and SUMMC has been the hub of feld learning experiences for students from various courses in Silliman University. 1 This paper was presented during the 3 rd Colleges and Universities Public Service Conference (CUPSCon) last October 16-18, 2019, at the University of the Philippines-Visayas, Iloilo City Campus. 2 Project Development Officer, Office of Community Engagement and Service-Learning Silliman University, Philippines Email: noveeemaestrecampojr@su.edu.ph 3 Director, Office of Community Engagement and Service-Learning, Silliman University, Philippines Email: emervencialligutom@su.edu.ph
