Course Description:
Health care professionals have a responsibility to build relationships with patients from all backgrounds and cultures. Relationships require trust, understanding, and respect. Without understanding how a patient from another culture views health care, authority figures, or the American culture, a healthcare professional will be unable to navigate the barriers of trust necessary to provide care that will be both understood and accepted. Quality healthcare requires presenting information to people of different cultures in a manner respectful of their background and worldview.
