There wasnot a clear indication of what specifically made the most impact. However, it is clear that humaninteraction with their teammates, mentors, community partner(s), etc. and reflection writing helpthem to articulate some level of empathy. For future research, it would be interesting to see ifthis articulation of empathy indicates an increase in their empathic development.As stated previously, in previous research on the program’s design process, we found correlationbetween empathy and students’ relationship with their team’s community partner [5

From the standpoint of technical rationality, professional practice should be aprocess of selection of the best means and methods available to solve a given problem. Realworld problems however, do not present themselves in a well-structured manner, rather ascomplex and ill-defined situations where mostly a process of tedious problem construction needsto be performed well before starting to solve them19.Technical rationality, unfortunately, does not prepare professionals to act in situations ofuncertainty, and these are the situations which offer the greatest potential for results in areasinvolving the creation of new methods and processes which are the
