Social Medicine faculty teach in Social and Health Systems 1, 2, and 3 Courses, in weekly small-group seminars throughout the three-semester Foundation Phase of 黑料网鈥檚 School of Medicine curriculum. These introductory courses explore: (1) social and cultural forces that shape health, illness, and disease; experiences of patients and roles of physicians; (2) ethical dimensions of medical professional work; major issues in bioethics and public health ethics; (3) health insurance, health care reform, and policy issues related to population health. SHS courses provide students with interdisciplinary tools to think critically about social contexts and influences on health and medicine, and introduce them to a range of issues central to the medical profession. Students engage in interactive seminar discussions, hone oral presentation skills, and write analytical papers. Longitudinal faculty relationships facilitate student reflection on professional goals. SHS courses complement and integrate with topics in the Medical Science and Patient-Centered Care courses, and prepare for SHS 4 & 5 courses in later phases of the curriculum.

Course materials for SHS 1/2 include , edited by current and former faculty members of the Department of Social Medicine.
