Street Medicine 101- virtual workshop

8 am - 12 pm HST / 11 am - 3 pm PDT / 2 pm - 6 pm EDT

View the workshop program

At the Street Medicine Institute, we have seen exponential growth in interest from people around the world to develop street medicine programs in response to the compounding problems of poor health outcomes, increased costs, and deepening social exclusion for people experiencing homelessness.

Blending the philosophical and the pragmatic, participants will learn how to start a program, identify why we do street medicine, and understand who we should be when working on the streets.

Because Street Medicine 101 sold out at last month’s International Street Medicine Symposium, we are offering this workshop virtually.

For this Street Medicine 101 encore, some material will be pre-recorded.

Application for CME credit has been filed with the American Academy of Family Physicians. Determination of credit is pending.

Members of the Street Medicine Institute receive a 50% discount on the Street Medicine 101 workshop. Join as a member here.
