Approaches to Teaching Social Determinants of Health to Undergraduate Health Care Students.

A combination of various assignments, including photo essays, service-learning projects, and critical reflection writing, from medicine and nursing SDOH curricula are feasible to implement in an online program that teaches primarily allied health professional students. Teaching SDOH for a semester (versus one class setting), linking SDOH to the "real world," and creating awareness about SDOH and privilege may lead to more empathetic health care providers who can better understand and advocate for their patients.
