Description

From Framework to Practice: Bring Social Determinants of Health Into Your CSD Curriculum

Your students and you know that social determinants of health (SDOH) matter. 

The challenge is fitting them into a curriculum that's already full. This two-part webinar series gives CSD faculty a practical way to infuse SDOH concepts into the CSD curriculum, without overhauling what already works. Part I (Sept 29) introduces a Bloom's Taxonomy-aligned framework for building student awareness and clinical reasoning around SDOH. Part II (Oct 6) delivers ready-to-use strategies for faculty to put the SDOH framework into action.

Social determinants of health (SDOH) are non-medical upstream and downstream factors that shape overall health, including communication health and well-being. While public health evidence offers valuable insight into these influences, training future Audiologists (AuDs) and Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) as epidemiologists or public health specialists is not practical. Instead, CSD programs can prioritize developing clinicians’ awareness and responsiveness to SDOH. This presentation introduces a comprehensive framework for embedding SDOH into academic and clinical training, intentionally aligned with Bloom’s Taxonomy to support progressive learning. The framework scaffolds student development from foundational knowledge (remembering and understanding SDOH concepts), to application and analysis through case-based learning and clinical decision-making, and ultimately to evaluation and creation via reflective practice and community-engaged experiences.

This presentation focuses on practical methods for integrating social determinants of health (SDOH) and public health evidence into didactic and clinical training within Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) programs. Presenters will highlight applied strategies and simulation, including the use of community-based learning, case-based instruction, and population-informed data, to strengthen student understanding of SDOH. Attendees will engage in discussion on leveraging program strengths to translate knowledge of SDOH into meaningful clinical practices, ultimately improving student awareness of populations affected by upstream health factors.
