Shaping the Future of Health Policy Through Social Accountability
Webinar Details
Explore the importance of assessing social accountability within health professions education toward meeting the health policy challenge of providing accessible, affordable, and quality healthcare in the U.S. This webinar introduces the Indicators for Social Accountability Tool (ISAT). ISAT was developed by The Pan American Health Organization and updated by The Network: Towards Unity for Health. The tool is used to assess progress toward greater social accountability in student and faculty recruitment, how and where students learn, research activities, governance and community engagement, school outcomes, social impact, and related areas.
Outcomes:
- Understand the overlap of the ISAT with the AACN Essentials.
- Access and use the ISAT to become a Socially Accountable institution.
- Take actions to make accessible, affordable, and quality care a priority within their nursing education program.
Note: Recording of the webinar will be available soon after the webinar airs. Visit AACN's On-Demand Webinars to watch.
