Managing Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) with Integrative Care

Course Overview

Social determinants of health—such as food insecurity, housing instability and transportation access—can influence up to 80% of health outcomes. In this non-credit online course, you’ll explore how these critical social factors affect individual and community health. Learn how to apply integrative health strategies to address social determinants with compassion, improve care coordination and promote whole-person wellness.

Through research-backed strategies and real-world case examples, you’ll gain insight into how clinicians and caregivers can work toward both incremental and transformational change—meeting patients where they are and supporting them with the tools they need to thrive. 

Who Should Enroll

This non-credit course is ideal for nurses, therapists, social workers, counselors, psychologists, primary care providers, case managers and wellness coaches seeking to enhance patient-centered, holistic care. 

What You’ll Learn

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Name at least three socially related factors that influence health
  
• Describe at least one characteristic of integrative care that can improve SDoH
  
• Compare and contrast the concepts of tinkering and transformation in relation to health

Course Outcomes

Through actionable strategies and case-based learning, you’ll discover how integrative care—blending social, emotional, behavioral and physical health support—can be used to address systemic barriers to care and improve outcomes across diverse populations.
