Educating Health Professionals To Address The Social Determinants of Health:
The Second of a Three Part Series Highlights from the Community  Component of the 2016 Institute of Medicine Report

Health starts long before illness – in our homes, schools, and jobs – and these “social determinants of health “account for approximately 75% of health outcomes. It is essential that our students and workforce are prepared to address these determinants.

Please join us for a provocative presentation and discussion with faculty and students from the Schools of Nursing and Dental Medicine, and their community partners, focusing on their successful partnerships. During this stimulating discussion, you will hear highlights from “A Framework for Educating Health Professionals to Address the Social Determinants of Health” (2016), followed by an interactive Q & A.

Speakers include:
Joan Gluch, PhD, RDH, PHDHP, Associate Dean for Academic Policies, Division Chief and Professor of Clinical Community Oral Health with community partners Deanne Wallaert and Kiasha Huling from Sayre Health Center.

Terri H Lipman, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, Assistant Dean for Community Engagement, Miriam Stirl Endowed Term Professor of Nutrition, Professor of Nursing of Children with community partners David Earley and Selena Williams- Directors, In the Dance.
