Educating Health Professionals To Address The Social Determinants of Health: Highlights from the Educational Component of the 2016 Institute of Medicine Report
Health starts long before illness - in our homes, schools, and jobs - and these "social determinants of health "account for approximately 75% of health outcomes. It is essential that our students and workforce are prepared to address these determinants.
Please join us for a provocative presentation and discussion with Dr. Laura Magana Valladares and Dean Antonia Villaruel, who both served as members of the National Academy of Medicine committee that developed the report, "A Framework for Educating Health Professionals to Address the Social Determinants of Health" (2016). During this stimulating discussion, you will hear highlights from the report followed by an interactive Q & A.
