Social Determinants of Health Curriculum for the Pediatric Clerkship.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Education on social determinants of health (SDH) aligns with national standards for medical education. However, there are minimal existing resources targeted to medical students specific to the care of the pediatric population. We designed a case-based curriculum on SDH for third-year medical students on their pediatric clerkship to address this deficit.

Methods

Third-year medical students on their pediatric clerkship received a case-based flipped classroom educational series on SDH in four 10-minute segments. Students completed voluntary and anonymous surveys delivered via an electronic survey tool before and after completion of the curriculum. Surveys were a self-assessment of knowledge and skills related to SDH in pediatrics and analysis of a pediatric case.<
