Abstract
Background: As the education of more health professional students continues to evolve, it is crucial to consider how these students are taught about the social determinants of health (SDOH). While these concepts are regular language within the field of public health, they are new within most health professions education programs. Thus, faculty may be grappling with how to teach SDOH concepts to their students.
Methods: Using theatre as a guide, scenarios were developed to expose health professions students to the SDOH.
Results: Guided process in the development of theatrical scenarios to support the teaching of SDOH to health professions students.
Conclusion: The use of theatrical scenarios presents one way that may prove to be effective in teaching the concepts of the SDOH to health professions students. The guided process discussed may make it easier for faculty to reproduce similar scenarios that better expose health professions students to the concepts of the SDOH.
