Approaching patient care from a holistic perspective, incorporating not only the patient's medical and dental history but also psychosocial history, improves patient outcomes. Practitioners should be trained to provide this style of care through inclusive education, including training working on interprofessional teams. A component of this education must incorporate social determinants of health into the treatment plan. Social determinants of health include income, race/ethnicity, education level, work opportunities, living conditions, and access to health care. Education regarding social determinants of health should be woven throughout dental curricula, including hands-on application opportunities. This education must extend to patient care situations rather than be limited to didactic settings. This article explains the need to incorporate social determinants of health into dental education and illustrates how social determinants education is being addressed in two U.S. dental schools' curricula, including how to weave social determinants of health into interprofessional education. These descriptions may serve as a model for curricular innovation and faculty development across the dental education community.
从整体角度看待患者护理，不仅纳入患者的医学和牙科病史，还包括心理社会病史，可改善患者治疗效果。从业者应通过包容性教育接受培训，以提供这种护理方式，包括参与跨专业团队的培训。这种教育的一个组成部分必须将健康的社会决定因素纳入治疗计划。健康的社会决定因素包括收入、种族/民族、教育水平、工作机会、生活条件以及获得医疗保健的机会。关于健康的社会决定因素的教育应贯穿牙科课程，包括实践应用机会。这种教育必须延伸到患者护理情境，而不仅限于理论教学环境。本文解释了将健康的社会决定因素纳入牙科教育的必要性，并举例说明了美国两所牙科学校的课程中如何处理社会决定因素教育，包括如何将健康的社会决定因素融入跨专业教育。这些描述可为整个牙科教育界的课程创新和教师发展提供范例。
