Spanish term or phrase: en el servicio y responsabilidad social
Estoy traduciendo un aval académico para un médico:

"El objetivo principal de la Facultad de Medicina Escuela de Medicina Vargas es proporcionar educación a las personas que tienen una percepción de la medicina como una profesión humana **en el servicio y responsabilidad social**.

Me confunde un poco el uso de la preposición "en" aquí.

Mil gracias por sus sugerencias

in the service of others and of social responsibility
Explanation:
The phrase 'in the service of' works perfectly fine with both 'others' and 'social responsibility.'

Another option might be to turn it around, i.e., "in the service of social responsibility and (of) others."

agree  philgoddard: I don't think you can say "of service to social responsibility", and it should be " provides a service," but your second and third options work.

during the service and social responsibility


Explanation:
In this sentence I think 'en' means 'during' (durante), though it could also be 'in'.

Example sentence(s):
  • El objectivo ... es proporcionar educación a las personas que tienen una percepción de la medicina como profesión humana en el servicio y responsabilidad social.
  • The objective ... is to promote education to the people who have an understanding of medicine as a human profession during (in) the service and social responsibility.
