Abstract
BackgroundSocial determinants of health (SDoH) are responsible for 80–90% of modifiable contributors to health, yet this material may not be covered in preclinical medical school neuroscience courses. ObjectiveTo describe how topics related to SDoH and inclusion, diversity, equity, anti-racism, and social justice (IDEAS) were incorporated into a preclinical neuroscience course. MethodsIDEAS concepts and guided discussions were added to our existing case-based curriculum, and guest speakers were invited to discuss how these concepts are relevant in the field of neurology. ResultsMost students felt that content and discussions were integrated thoughtfully. Students also found it helpful to learn and observe how faculty address these topics in real-world cases. ConclusionThe additional content related to SDoH and IDEAS is feasible. Faculty with or without expertise in IDEAS concepts were able to utilize these cases and generate discussion without detracting from the neuroscience course material.
