MDMS 700 Medicine and Society II
Social determinants affect the health of individuals, communities, and populations. This course provides the space to explore social determinants in relation to patient care, equipping learners with the skills needed to become physicians capable of providing high quality holistic care. These concepts are applied through BALSAM, a service learning, community-based, household-focused, longitudinal program that offers learners the chance to transfer their knowledge into practice. Medical students have the opportunity to develop or reinforce competencies in multiple domains.
