A National Collaboration
-
An expert-reviewed curriculum that integrates a paradigm of social drivers of health into the study and practice of emergency medicine
-
This curriculum is free, downloadable, and modifiable to fit your institution, community, and practice.
-
Everywhere. This is a national effort intended to be studied, adapted, and applied wherever emergency medical services are available and beyond.
SAEM + ACEP = Synergy
-
Discover how our national collaborative effort is transforming emergency medicine education by integrating concepts of social drivers of health.
-
Explore new approaches to old problems with an understanding that many of the diseases we treat are merely symptoms of a greater societal disease.
-
Because you know that healing and treating disease is more than simply understanding the basic medical sciences. And, you know that where you live, work, and play affects health outcomes more than biology alone. “Medical care is estimated to account for only 10-20 percent of the modifiable contributors to healthy outcomes for a population.” -The National Academy of Medicine
