Neighborhood Immersion for Compassion & Empathy

Improve patient care by increasing awareness of social determinants of health and empathy toward individuals living in impoverished, urban communities.

In this 360-degree video, participants can:

• Experience vignettes of life in a segregated, distressed neighborhood with the challenges of social determinants of health (e.g. poor housing, lack of transportation, food insecurity, violence and racism)
• Discover statistics representing neighborhood characteristics (e.g. foreclosures, crime prevalence)
• Observe how social and economic factors affect health behaviors, health outcomes, management of chronic illness, and life expectancy

Duration: 30 minutes
