The goal of Social Medicine is to develop a group of DHM faculty and staff to engage in dialogue, identify gaps, and design solutions around issues of advocacy, opportunity, and inclusion that impact our patients, learners, and ourselves.

Below are endeavors that seek to improve clinical outcomes, advocacy, community partnerships, and research by addressing the social, cultural, and structural determinants of patients’ health.
