Title

Contextual Drivers of Health and Disease III

Course Description

The CDHD III experience is provided during the students' second year to align with the professional practice course focus on advocacy and to contribute to meeting our divisional objective for our learners to 'be influential leaders, advocates, and change agents for their patients, community, and the profession.' Students will be provided opportunities to develop real-world skills to address disparities at the interpersonal and community levels. This content is offered during the DPT second year as a continuation of the first-year CDHD I and II courses to drive the clinical application of skills and offer opportunities for direct engagement. The course is offered in parallel with our integrated clinical experiences in CAMP to solidify our learners' abilities to grapple with these complex issues. The expectation is that learners will enter their summative third-year terminal clinical experiences competently prepared to identify and reduce healthcare disparities.
