Social
Accountability

Institutions that train health workers design their education, research, and service activities to meet the needs of the communities they serve—with priorities jointly defined by multiple stakeholders, including the populations in greatest need.

Our Principles

  • Education, research, and service programs are designed to meet the health and social needs of underserved communities.
  • Students are selected from the communities that have the greatest health needs.
  • Programs are located in or near the communities they serve.
  • A significant part of the learning experience takes place in primary care settings.
  • The curriculum integrates basic, clinical, population, and social science, including the social determinants of health.
  • Teaching methods are student-centered and service-based, emphasizing teamwork and benefiting from information technology.
  • Schools recruit and train community-based practitioners as teachers and mentors.
  • Programs emphasize a commitment to public service, with faculty members serving as role models.
  • Social accountability is reflected across all departments and in the commitment from school leadership.
