In a recent JAMA Review, Dr. Davidson and his colleague Thomas McGinn, MD, MPH, raised this issue: while we know the social determinants of health have an impact on health, the field is still unclear on whose job it is to solve it. This week, a Jama Poll over twitter asked physicians (presumably) to cast their votes : "Medical school should produce physician scientists, not physician social justice activists". 69% of respondents disagreed. It is under this backdrop that we welcome Kyla Christensen. With a background in Social Work, Kyla helps us get a glimpse in the world of social determinants of health, from a discipline that has a long-standing tradition tackling it!
