At the Street Medicine Institute, we have seen exponential growth in interest from people around the world to develop street medicine programs in response to the compounding problems of poor health outcomes, increased costs, and deepening social exclusion for people experiencing homelessness.

Our ever-popular Street Medicine 101, previously only available during the annual International Street Medicine Symposium, is now also available virtually. Blending the philosophical and the pragmatic, participants will learn how to start a program, identify why we do street medicine, and understand who we should be when working on the streets.

The AAFP has reviewed Virtual Street Medicine 101 and deemed it acceptable for up to 3.75 Live AAFP Prescribed credit(s). Term of Approval is from 04/30/2025 to 04/30/2025. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

AAFP Prescribed credit is accepted by the American Medical Association as equivalent to AMA PRA Category 1 credit(s)™ toward the AMA Physician's Recognition Award. When applying for the AMA PRA, Prescribed credit earned must be reported as Prescribed, not as Category 1.
