Bridging the Gaps is a collaboration among multiple academic health institutions (academic health centers, universities) in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and approximately 100 community organizations, which links the interprofessional education of health/social service professional students with the provision of health-related services for vulnerable populations.

There are three components to the program:

• A community health internship program
• A seminar series addressing topics related to population health and care coordination
• A clinical program that is an interdisciplinary experience providing students with the opportunity to become more skilled in collaborative community clinical service for underserved populations
