Social Mission in Health Professions Accreditation
Accreditation in health professions education influences institutions’ practices and policies, ever-evolving to ensure high-quality education that meets the needs of patients and society. Health professions institutions are beginning to examine their approach to educating health care leaders to advance health equity through their social mission commitments. Social mission is the contribution of the school in its mission, programs, and the performance of its graduates, faculty, and leadership in advancing health equity and addressing the health disparities of the society in which it exists.” This study examined the scope of social mission content in major U.S. and Canadian health professions accreditation standards.
