Summary
Design thinking workshops improved medical student engagement with social determinants of health (SDOH) curricula. This approach enhanced student satisfaction and program effectiveness in understanding SDOH.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Health Systems Science
- Curriculum Development
Background:
- Health Systems Science (HSS) curricula aim to improve understanding of social determinants of health (SDOH).
- Initial implementation of an experiential SDOH screening program faced poor student receptivity and engagement.
- A design thinking approach was adopted to enhance learner involvement in educational design.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine if a design thinking workshop could improve an educational model for SDOH screening.
- To assess the impact of stakeholder-driven curriculum reform on student engagement and satisfaction.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of first-year medical student evaluations of the Clinical Experience (CE) program.
- Comparison of evaluations before (2018-19) and after (2019-20) a design thinking workshop and curriculum changes.
- Involved student and faculty stakeholders in a design thinking workshop.
Main Results:
- Significant increase in positive results across all survey questions post-intervention (p < 0.01).
- Indicated increased student satisfaction with the revised SDOH screening curriculum.
- Well-received changes included improved student training, patient screening/follow-up, and technology integration.
Conclusions:
- Design thinking effectively improved medical student engagement with SDOH curricula.
- Co-creation among stakeholders is crucial for successful medical curriculum redesign.
- The study highlights the value of design thinking in enhancing educational programs and student satisfaction.

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
