We describe a unique pediatric posthospitalization home visit curriculum to train residents about the social determinants of health (SDH).

Results Of residents, 23 of 31 (74%) were able to make at least one home visit. After participating in the curriculum, residents reported increased confidence in understanding SDH (p = .048) and increased consideration of SDH when developing treatment plans (p = .007). All residents who made home visits predicted they would feel more confident in understanding how SDH impact patients they will care for in the future.
