Pediatric Advocacy and Social Determinants of Health

Catalog description

This curriculum is designed flexibility to allow students to focus on areas of community perdiatrics that spark their interest and passion, fostering sustainable advocacy efforts that will persist even after students complete their medical training. Part of the role of the pediatric advocate is facilitating change at the system level-whether the clinic, the medical school, the region or the country-so that the changes you make do not just apply to you and your individual patients but can be perpetuation throughout a population. The rotation will help students explore ways in which medical providers can be a part of such system level change.
