Abstract
BACKGROUND: Traditionally, medical education does not specifically address the social determinants of health or how to advocate for families' cultural, social or economic needs in spite of our increasingly diverse society. AIM: This article describes a new social-legal curriculum added to a Pediatric Resident's Advocacy course. METHODS: Pediatric interns completed 'Memos To Myself' after the Advocacy rotation. RESULTS: The curriculum impacted residents' (1) realization regarding family circumstances; (2) reflections regarding self and personal practice; and (3) knowledge about advocacy issues and community partnerships for solutions. CONCLUSIONS: This curriculum raised awareness about topics that are traditionally not covered in medical education.
