In this episode, Todd Davenport joins host Rachel Jermann to break down the social determinants of health (#sdoh), and the impact of gun violence on physical therapists. They discuss the following questions:

• What are the social determinants of health?
• We have to help the patient in front of us...but how does that translate to helping solve he "upstream" issues?
• Gun control has been a political hot topic with the recent spate of shootings. How does gun violence impact the PT profession?
• The American Physical Therapy Association recently voted to support essential health benefits (EHBs) despite the controversy surrounding reproductive rights and EHBs. Is this a good shift in the profession? What do you think it means?
