1/ We are going to start a series of threads, starting with this #tweetorial, to share more info about our program & curriculum. We will collate in a Twitter moment!
First topic—our Social Medicine Curriculum & Block:

2/ Why is this such a valued part of our residency program curriculum for > a decade?
Healthcare & health outcomes are about far more than just access to medical care and treatments. Social determinants of health (SDoH) are crucial to these outcomes

3/ Our Social Medicine curriculum includes an ambulatory block rotation & longitudinal learning across 3 years
We aim to:
⬆️resident knowledge of health disparities & system gaps
⬆️sociocultural awareness of SDoH
✅provide culturally responsive care for stigmatized patients
4/ during the ambulatory block, residents rotate through multiple sites around the Portland Metro area including several affiliated with @CCCPortland like Old Town Clinic plus visits with the Home-Based Primary Care team with the VA

5/ The curriculum also has a strong emphasis on addiction medicine education
All interns receive buprenorphine waiver training and spend inpatient time with hospital-based addiction medicine consult service (IMPACT)

6/ the curriculum also provides exposure to crucial umbrella elements—including exposure to biopsychosocial, value-based, and harm reduction approaches.
Dr. @txasprevention has also been influential in expanding the trauma-informed care curriculum

7/ These precepted experiences are also coupled w independent learning on healthy equity
Through experiential activities, readings, reflective writing & group discussions, residents explore topics including professionalism, health care delivery issues, bias, and social justice
8/ our faculty, in addition to caring for patients and teaching, have also been busy publishing on their unique care delivery models:
FIN/ This curriculum is an valued part of our program, a testament to our goal of bringing patient-centered, high quality care to all our patients
