CIPhER Seminar: Thoughtful Incorporation of Social and Structural Determinants of Health into Pharmacy Education – Using a Case-Based Approach
April 10 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Social and structural determinants of health (SSDoH) are known to heavily influence health outcomes. Increasingly, educators within pharmacy education have recognized the importance of these factors. However, incorporating instruction on SSDoH and the vital role that pharmacists have in identifying and advocating for improved SSDoH conditions for patients has presented a vexing challenge to the pharmacy academy. Preparing future pharmacists to address the holistic needs of patients is essential to eliminating health disparities and achieving health equity.
In this session, we will discuss approaches to incorporating instruction on SSDoH into pharmacy curricula and provide guidance on how to integrate SSDoH into theoretical patient cases thoughtfully and responsibly.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this program, participants will be able to:
- Describe the need for incorporating SSDoH concepts in pharmacy curricula to prepare student pharmacists to meet the holistic needs of their current and future patients.
- Formulate approaches for appropriate and thoughtful inclusion of SSDoH into patient cases.
Target Audience: This program is designed for faculty, staff, preceptors, post-graduate trainees, and students.
Lunch will be available for pick-up at 11:50 am in Chapel Hill (Beard Hall) and Asheville (Karpen Hall). Please indicate while registering whether you intend to pick-up lunch.
