Abstract
This book seeks to provide an initial framework for promoting learning about health disparities and social determinants of health among health professionals. In 2012, we began to teach health disparities to primary care physicians as part of a faculty development program. During the delivery of the health disparities component of the program, we developed a range of teaching strategies, curricula, and associated resources for promoting learning about health disparities among medical professionals. In this chapter we provide an overview of possible goals and objectives for a health disparities curriculum and an introduction to our pedagogical approach.
