Community of Practice
Welcome to our Community of Practice!
“Communities of practice are a practical way to frame the task of managing knowledge. They provide a concrete organization infrastructure for realizing the dream of a learning organization.” – Dr. Etienne Wenger
Our community of practice is an interprofessional group of healthcare providers who are passionate about teaching and learning about the social determinants of health. With the goal of fostering collaboration and discovery, community members contribute in a variety of ways to advance change in preparing the next generation of providers to address social determinants of health.
