Needs Statement:
The Ethics, Professionalism, and Policy Program (EP3) is the ethics education curriculum created by the Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy. The goal of the EP3 program is to educate the medical community about biomedical ethics. The EP3 topics are issues most medical providers encounter regularly but many feel unequipped to handle. The EP3 program’s goal is to provide easily digestible and actionable recommendations and resources about these complicated topics.

• Define social determinants of health and identify methods to inquire about social determinants of health (SDOH) that mitigate stereotype threat.
• Recognize the effect of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on health outcomes and the importance of trauma informed care.
