New Blog!
Moving Beyond Individual to Collective Responsibility for Behavior Change
The search for the “American dream” compelled my parents to leave their homeland to come to the United States with few resources, money or support. Having left behind the comforts of home complete with the richness of language, family, friends, community, culture and a way of life, they sought the promise of a better tomorrow. As a first generation American, I have greatly benefited from their immigration in innumerable ways; yet, I have a more nuanced relationship with the concept of the “American dream.”
Resource of the Month
A Framework for Educating Health Professionals to Address the Social Determinants of Health
This is an incredible and comprehensive resource that provides guidance to educators involved in “Educating Health Professional’s” recommended and unifying framework for addressing social determinants of health in health professional education. Linked to the framework are models and recommendations that educators can structurally use to align education, organization, and community, along with other sectors, to meet health needs.
