A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:

Division of Social Accountability, College of Medicine

In 2011 the College of Medicine established the Division of Social Accountability to promote and support the College's obligation to direct its Clinical activity, Advocacy, Research and Education (CARE Model) activities towards the priority health concerns of local, regional, national and international communities.

The Division is committed to incorporating social accountability into its education, research and service, and has recognized the role of service-learning for its faculty and students in fulfilling that commitment. The College supports a number of programs and initiatives that address community health needs including Aboriginal health, primary health care, urban and rural underserved areas, gender and equity, eco-health, immigrant and refugee health and global health. The College is also active at the national level, participating in national planning activities and projects with the Association of Faculties of Medicine that promotes social accountability in a variety of forms.
