The National Collaborative for Education to Address the Social Determinants of Health (NCEAS) was originally a HRSA-funded Academic Unit for Primary Care Training and Enhancement. The mission of the NCEAS is to prepare primary care clinicians with the expertise and leadership to address the social determinants of health (SDOH).

SDOH in Med Ed: Hot Topics & WIP
What are We Teaching Physicians about the Social and Structural Drivers of Health? Findings from a Recent Scoping Review
A scoping review just published in Academic Medicine sought to describe the content of curricula delivered to physician trainees on the social and structural drivers of health and related concepts. While other studies have described pedagogic approaches, assessment methods and other “curricular logistics,” this is the first study we know of that has described in detail what physician trainees are actually being taught about SDOH. In this session, the study’s authors will describe the study’s key findings and facilitate a discussion about what we should be teaching physicians about SDOH, and what they can do about these drivers.
