This presentation focuses on practical methods for integrating social determinants of health (SDOH) and public health evidence into didactic and clinical training within Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) programs. Presenters will highlight applied strategies and simulation, including the use of community-based learning, case-based instruction, and population-informed data, to strengthen student understanding of SDOH. Attendees will engage in discussion on leveraging program strengths to translate knowledge of SDOH into meaningful clinical practices, ultimately improving student awareness of populations affected by upstream health factors.
Learning Objectives
- Describe active learning activities to engage CSD students in clinical decision making within a SDOH framework.
- Apply SDOH concepts to case-based and data-driven clinical training scenarios within CSD programs.
- Evaluate program strengths and design strategies (e.g., community-based learning, population-informed instruction) to integrate SDOH into clinical education and practice.

This course is designed with a participation requirement that ensures meaningful engagement and learning. Participants must be present for the entire 90-minute webinar to receive the assessment. The assessment is a key component in obtaining both their certificate of completion and ASHA CEUs. In addition to standard assessments of the speaker's effectiveness and the overall content quality, participants are challenged to demonstrate practical application of the knowledge gained. The required question prompts participants to articulate and list two specific action items they plan to implement. This promotes critical thinking about how to apply new information in their professional practice with a forward-thinking response.
