Dr. Robert M. Weiler Joins Advisory Board for Promoting Health Equity: Educating the Judiciary About the Social Determinants of Health

Dr. Robert M. Weiler, professor and associate dean for academic affairs in the College of Health and Human Services, has been selected to serve on the Promoting Health Equity: Educating the Judiciary about the Social Determinants of Health Advisory Board.  Sponsored by the Center for Health Policy and Law at Northeastern University School of Law, the aim of this project is to inform judges about the social determinants of health and their relationship to the law. The project will develop a judicial education program to better equip judges to resolve cases in which the SDOH are implicated. To help inform this work, the project’s advisory board of judges, public health experts and scholars, and educators will provide ongoing feedback and guidance on the project’s research and program development.
