Course informationCenter of Excellence in Diversity in Medical Education 2011 Spring Lecture Series
An exciting course that challenges you to explore how culture and language impact the effectiveness of clinical encounters.
How does culture impact clinical care?
Come learn from distinguished clinicians and researchers about the role of race and culture in caring for patients. The speakers will present insights, findings, and programs targeting culturally diverse patients.
Cross-cultural medicine is a rapidly growing area, and an area that can enrich your own personal perspective on the delicate interplay that race and ethnicity have on health care. This course will examine and promote culturally competent health care.
The lecture series is open to medical students, undergrads, faculty, and staff. Information is presented such that everyone from undergrads to M.D.'s can benefit. Final grades will be based on attendance of lectures if taken for one unit (12-1 pm); or lecture discussion sections and weekly response papers (12-2 pm) if taken for 2 units; the course may also be taken for 3 units, which includes attendance at lectures, discussions, weekly response papers, and a final term paper.
