Summary
Medical schools major on training student physicians on the pathological basis of disease and the evidence-based therapies we prescribe to heal disease. But important and often overlooked contributors to health are the social determinants: poverty, nutrition, housing and related socio-economic factors. How health care is delivered on a system basis must consider these socioeconomic factors to ensure quality and effectiveness, particularly in rural communities such as those in Northern BC. That’s the interest of today’s guest, a family and emergency room physician, Dr. Navpreet Sidhu. In this fascinating episode she takes us through the importance of recognizing the socio-economic context of rural communities as a foundation for providing equitable health care and ways in which health care organizations can tailor their systems, metrics and standards to optimize patient-centered care for rural patients.
