Webinar
The Hospital to Home Program: A Curricular, Value-Added Experience for Medical Students to Address Social Determinants of Health at the Bedside
A major challenge in health professions education is how to meaningfully and effectively integrate learning on social determinants of health (SDH) for trainees. At the University of Texas Medical Branch John Sealy School of Medicine, we recently developed and implemented an innovative program called the Hospital to Home (H2H) program in partnership with the local free clinic, St. Vincent’s Clinic. This is an educational and value-added experience for medical students as they gain a deeper understanding of the impact of SDH and the importance of integrating the greater social and patient context when developing care plans by identifying and addressing the unmet social needs for hospitalized patients at the bedside for a smoother transition during the crucial post-discharge period.
Resource of the Month
A National Survey of Medical School Curricula on Criminal Justice and Health
This resource describes the results of a national survey of medical schools to assess the prevalence of training in correctional health. This survey assessed the existence and characteristics of curricula linking criminal justice and health, as well as perceptions on the role of criminal justice education in medical training.
