Liberation Medicine
A longitudinal, resident-led curriculum exploring and understanding the forces that shape healthcare in our communities, by integrating social science literature and centering non-physician voices.
Social Medicine Curriculum
The Social Medicine Curriculum is a longitudinal module that integrates social medicine concepts and application in teaching, clinical care delivery, and research for our three Residency tracks (Pediatrics, Internal Medicine and Family Medicine). There are multidisciplinary personnel involved in curating, designing and delivering the Social Medicine Curriculum, including residents, faculty and staff. This Curriculum facilitates the integration of psychosocial, person-centered, and structural analysis throughout the training of our medical physicians.
Global Health
The Global Health Program is committed to providing longitudinal care to the rural community of Kisoro, Uganda in partnership with Doctors for Global Health. This program has existed for 15+ years and has developed a village health worker program that has large and deep networks outside of the hospital. Over the years, the program has trained and continues to support non-physician clinicians delivering primary care services in the hospital and surrounding villages. Residents provide ongoing support each year under the supervision of Uganda-experienced Global Health Montefiore faculty who have committed to care in the inpatient and outpatient settings with the government hospital.
