Clinical Communication Pearls | Social Determinants of Health

Dr. Andrew Beck (MD, MPH) is a Board Certified Pediatrician at Cincinnati Children's Hospital and Medical Center. Dr. Beck has studied anthropology at Yale University, earned a MPH at Harvard University, attended medical school at the University of Pittsburgh, and received residency and fellowship training at CCHMC. He currently serves as a primary care pediatrician and hospitalist, and he leads CCHMC's community health initiative.In this episode of the Unscripted Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Beck to discuss how health care professionals in training can help identify and address the underlying socioeconomic factors that influence patients' health perceptions and experiences.  We tackle difficult and important topics, such as screening patients for deficits in social well being, addressing these needs in nonjudgemental ways, and recognizing our own implicit biases that blind us to the struggles that people face in daily life. As sensitive as this topic is, we hope you find this episode equally encouraging and inspiring!Show Notes:Andrew Beck - PortfolioSiren - Improving research on social and medical care integration All Children ThriveSend us Fan Mail
