Virtual Training #5: MAY: Population-Specific Approaches to SDOH

The Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Academy is a 6-month HRSA-funded virtual training series designed to help staff from health centers, health center controlled networks, and primary care associations develop, implement, and sustain SDOH interventions in their clinics and communities.

Designed and led by staff from fourteen organizations—all HRSA-designated training and technical assistance hubs—the coordinated curriculum exposes participants to a range of SDOH strategies and community-based interventions in a single place, and covers everything from screening to implementation and practice transformation. The Academy also provides an opportunity for health centers to engage in peer-learning and share their SDOH needs and work.

Each month from January through June, the Academy offers a virtual training on a different SDOH topic while also hosting corresponding virtual office hours where participants can ask questions and share their experiences. Building on the success of the 2017 pilot with 58 health centers and PCAs, the 2018 SDOH Academy is now open to staff from all health centers, health center controlled networks, and primary care associations.

The 2018 SDOH Academy will place a special focus on diabetes prevention and control, recognizing that improving uncontrolled diabetes requires a parallel focus on evidence-based clinical interventions and addressing SDOH. Where available, materials will also consider how SDOH interventions are funded, and what new partnerships or collaboratives may be
