In this episode, we delve into social determinants affecting American Indian and Alaska Native communities with Dr. Nicole Stern, Assistant Professor of Medical Education at California University of Science and Medicine. We explore the five key domains of social determinants of health: economic stability, education access and quality, healthcare access and quality, neighborhood and environment, and social and community context.

We analyze their specific impact on American Indians and Alaska Natives communities.
