Take the Wheel, Don’t Reinvent it! An Education Collection for Social Determinants of Health
“Medicine is changing fast, but the fight for health equity is a slow process. The importance of social determinants won’t decline any time soon. The goal of our education collection is to help our trainees gain the self-efficacy to approach patients like mine with confidence and competence.” – Dr. Heather Heiman
Dr. Heiman leads the oversight of the curated social determinants of health education collection and contributes to its creation and maintenance at NCEAS.
