Health Care in Diverse Communities Course No. 370-712

Introduction to issues that we, as health care professionals, will face entering practice in increasingly diverse communities. The class brings together students from all of the health science schools, patients, community members, and health care workers to discuss the experiences of people from different backgrounds, especially as these experiences apply to health care interactions. While the class is in no way a complete or thorough look at "cultural competency," "cultural sensitivity" or "cultural humility," we hope it will provoke an awareness of the importance of these concepts in clinical practice. Instructor is Jim Shropshire, MD.
