The Agnes Scott College Medical Sciences Graduate Program is seeking adjunct faculty to teach one or more sections of Social and Behavioral Determinants of Health (MDS 601) in Spring or Summer 2023.

Particular emphasis is placed on the role of structural and social determinants of health in shaping health behaviors, exposures and risks. Course materials should highlight the relevance of course content for future health professionals.
