What I would like to offer as a collaborator…
My area of interest on the need for clinicians to incorporate knowledge of social determinants of health into their bedside practice. Additionally needed is a systematic way to teach medical school students about the importance of factors such as housing access to food transportation during their clinical years. I am currently directing a medical student course allowing medical students to focus on these factors in the inpatient setting.
What I am looking for from a collaborator…
I am conducting a medical student elective to allow both medical students and practicing hospitalists to learn more about the factors that most impact health outcomes and contribute to the health disparities to which we bear witness in the inpatient setting. From bedside teaching and interviews to interventions during the inpatient setting we hope to expand our knowledge and efforts to the community and other advocacy endeavors.
