Social determinants of health (SDoH) are responsible for 80-90% of modifiable contributors to health, yet this material may not be covered in preclinical medical school neuroscience courses.
To describe how topics related to SDoH and inclusion, diversity, equity, anti-racism, and social justice (IDEAS) were incorporated into a preclinical neuroscience course.
IDEAS concepts and guided discussions were added to our existing case-based curriculum, and guest speakers were invited to discuss how these concepts are relevant in the field of neurology.
Most students felt that content and discussions were integrated thoughtfully. Students also found it helpful to learn and observe how faculty address these topics in real-world cases.
The additional content related to SDoH and IDEAS is feasible. Faculty with or without expertise in IDEAS concepts were able to utilize these cases and generate discussion without detracting from the neuroscience course material.
健康的社会决定因素(SDoH)是导致 80-90%可改变的健康因素的原因,但这些内容可能没有在临床前医学神经科学课程中涵盖。
描述如何将与 SDoH 以及包容、多样性、公平、反种族主义和社会正义(IDEAS)相关的主题纳入临床前神经科学课程。
将 IDEAS 概念和指导讨论添加到我们现有的基于案例的课程中,并邀请客座演讲者讨论这些概念在神经病学领域的相关性。
大多数学生认为内容和讨论都经过深思熟虑的整合。学生们还发现,学习和观察教师在实际案例中如何处理这些主题很有帮助。
与 SDoH 和 IDEAS 相关的额外内容是可行的。有或没有 IDEAS 概念专业知识的教师都能够利用这些案例并进行讨论,而不会影响神经科学课程的材料。
