Cultural Competency in Medicine
Course Description:
In the year 2000 almost 50 million people in the U.S. were ethnically diverse and that number continues to grow.
What were once considered minorities now make up the majority in Houston and Harris county. Likewise, our population continues to age and live in non-traditional settings; whether with a same-sex partner or in the streets.
This lecture series has been developed to help students understand how to treat an increasingly different patient population.
Students will hear from clinical practitioners that primarily treat these diverse populations and learn about epidemiological and historical trends and solutions.
