Pediatric educators are tasked with teaching learners across a continuum, ranging from undifferentiated medical students seeking to understand the basic concepts of advocacy to senior residents seeking employment or fellowships with opportunities to advocate for patients. The COVID-19 pandemic, amplifying health inequities and the role of social determinants and drivers of health (SDoH), calls for strengthening advocacy curriculum in medical education. This workshop provides a framework for developing advocacy curricula and strengthening existing advocacy teaching. Workshop leaders will share their experience with directing longstanding advocacy curricula, engage attendees in the use of advocacy asset mapping tools, discuss opportunities for incorporating advocacy into existing rotations, and highlight multidisciplinary resources to develop innovative curricula. Participants will be asked to consider untapped resources for interdisciplinary advocacy teaching at their home institutions and to share successes and barriers to connecting with community partners. Leaders will facilitate breakout sessions and provide opportunities to exchange ideas throughout the workshop.
