About the Program

Despite a call to action to address the social determinants of health in the United States, there has been limited evaluation of specific tools for teaching the social determinants of health to our medical learners. Organized by the Rodham Institute, these half day tours and discussions have increased the basic knowledge of D.C. disparities. See the City You Serve provides clinician learners with a true look at the communities that they serve and the journey their patients take to seek health care in the district.
