Structural Competency Handouts

Date of Review: January, 2019

This structural competency handout is an easy to use collection of instructional material, key concepts and resources around structural determinants and competency to assess or understand these. It includes a case and a structural vulnerability tool (with key questions and categories) that can be applied in small groups or in clinical teaching. Domains of structural determinants are identified as well as levels of intervention from research to policy. I have used this resource many times in small groups and workshops, there is also an article cited on the front than can be useful to see how it has been applied. This handout can be easily used by any instructor and has an incredible reading list at the end. —Ashti Doobay-Persaud, MD, NCEAS
