Research shows that patients are likely to benefit from a holistic model of care that addresses the social determinants of health (SDOH) in addition to medical needs. Join us for a discussion on the current use of the term "social determinants of health" and how these determinants impact health equity; a thoughtful discussion with consideration for how these determinants should influence clinical and public health research.
