Social Medicine Curriculum, 2024-2025

Our Social Medicine Rounds are an opportunity to connect our staff, faculty, trainees and community members to local and national leaders who discuss the medical, economic and social issues impacting the health and wellness of our Bronx community. We meet every 4th Tuesday of the month on a virtual platform that allows us to be in community, not just with our staff, trainees and faculty, but with other Bronx residents.

The Tri-Track sessions offer an intensive, interactive in-person session from 3:15- 6:00 pm with a focus on experiential learning from community members, activists, patients, and interdisciplinary providers who offer alternative views to the question of how we provide comprehensive, justice-oriented, equitable healthcare.

Our Social Medicine Immersion Month is for our intern class across the peds, family medicine and internal medicine to meet, learn about structural issues impacting the Bronx community, and engage with key community members working to address these challenges.

These research projects provide an experiential learning activity through which residents can demonstrate knowledge and skills that are relevant to primary care practice and advocacy with a social medicine orientation/perspective. Completion of the Social Medicine project allows residents to demonstrate competence in multiple Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education domains, but especially in Practice-based Learning and Improvement and in Systems-Based Practice.

The Social Medicine Symposium is a time to meet as a community to highlight our social medicine curriculum and social justice work.
