Bringing Bioethics to SDOH and SDOH to Bioethics: A Justice-Centered Bioethics Curriculum for Medical Students
Most medical professionals can readily recite the four core principles of bioethics: autonomy or respect for persons, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. Yet the field of bioethics has been criticized for the lack of attention to justice, in both clinical and scholarly spaces.

“The Evolution of Teaching Social Determinants of Health in an Interprofessional Education Program”
In this webinar, Drs. Painter and McNamara discuss the development of the Transforming Outpatient Care Center of Excellence in Primary Care Education, an interprofessional training program at the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center. They discuss how education surrounding social determinants of health was initially integrated, and how this focus evolved into a distinct educational domain. Lastly, Drs. Painter and McNamara highlight a unique curricular innovation that, in collaboration with the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, has been implemented to address bias and the impact of social determinants of health in patient care.
