New ACP learning activity focuses on socioeconomically disadvantaged patients
The online curriculum Caring with Compassion helps clinicians use team-based skills and biopsychosocial models of care to provide personalized care for at-risk patients.
Caring with Compassion, a new online learning activity focusing on care for socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, is now available from ACP.
The curriculum helps clinicians use team-based skills and biopsychosocial models of care to provide personalized care for at-risk patients, including homeless, uninsured, and underserved patients. Caring with Compassion supports core knowledge regarding social determinants of health, the U.S. public health care system, effective team-based care, and biomedical conditions that disproportionately affect homeless persons.
Caring with Compassion is free to the medical community, and ACP members are eligible for free CME. Users must create a personal account for the site, which provides an individualized learning dashboard. Educators may access a complete instructor's guide, and additional resources include a clinical application tool.
