Research shows that up to 80% of a person's health is determined by factors outside of clinical care. For pregnant and postpartum patients, challenges like housing instability, lack of childcare, or food insecurity can be significant barriers to a healthy outcome for both mother and baby. This course solves the problem of how to bridge that gap. 

This learning program provides the practical tools and strategies to confidently identify and address the non-medical drivers of health (NMDH) affecting patients. Through realistic scenarios, self-assessment activities, and expert-guided content, providers will learn how to screen for NMDH, communicate with patients effectively, and connect them to vital resources. Upon completion of this course the provider will be able to integrate these crucial skills into the daily workflow, fostering greater patient trust and directly improving health outcomes.
