Abstract: Social medicine, a field of study that uniquely centers the social and structural drivers of health in society, has been increasingly integrated into medical professional education over the last several decades. In Palestine, due to the fragmentation of Palestinian geographies, education, culture, and health, integrating a social medicine approach for allied health care students has remained elusive. We seek to introduce the theoretical underpinnings and practical implementation of an experiential Palestine social medicine course.
