What Should We Teach Physician Trainees About Social Care? Core Competencies, Priorities and Exemplars
Biography
Dr. Solomon is a Professor of Health Systems Science (HSS) at the Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine. As an inaugural member of the school’s faculty, he develops curricula, teaches and mentors students, and contributes to the school’s research and community engagement programs. He directs the school’s Health Systems Science Phase 3 Selectives program in which 3rd and 4th year medical students are placed in KP and community-based organizations for non-clinical rotations that provide opportunities for students to apply their HSS skills, a required part of the school’s innovative curriculum.
Dr. Solomon joined Kaiser Permanente’s Community Health Program in 2003. As Vice President of Community Health, he oversaw the design, execution and evaluation of the organization’s community-based initiatives, and led efforts to ensure the program’s responsiveness to evolving community health needs. He also worked closely with other health plan and medical group leaders to develop and implement Kaiser Permanente’s multi-faceted strategy for addressing the social drivers of health, including the organization’s efforts to identify and address the social needs of Kaiser Permanente members and the communities it serves.
Prior to coming to Kaiser Permanente, Dr. Solomon served as Deputy Director of the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) for Healthcare Quality and Analysis where he oversaw the state’s hospital outcomes reporting program and analyses of racial and ethnic health disparities. He served as a senior manager at the Lewin Group in Washington, D.C. and as a member of Senator Edward Kennedy’s health staff.
Dr. Solomon received his Ph.D. in Health Policy from Harvard University and a Master of Public Policy degree at University of California, Berkeley.
