social determinants of health

Our health is impacted by many non-clinical factors such as where we live, where we work, educational opportunities, economics, and even our access to the internet. This course takes a broad look at those factors with an emphasis on rural communities. Learners should gain a better understanding of these “determinants” and how they impact our health.
