Designed to recognize and to respect cultural differences and to augment the professionals' sensitivity to some of the many ways an understanding of cultural, class, and ethnic differences affect health-centered encounters. The course focuses on those areas of healthcare (pain, staff relations, dietary practices, death and dying, and mental health) where cultural differences create conflicts and misunderstandings that often result in the provision of less than optimal medical care.
