| Course Objectives: | The aim of the course "Healthcare in Multicultural Sciences" is to educate healthcare science students and professionals about the impacts of cultural diversity on healthcare and to enhance their ability to provide culturally sensitive patient care. This course equips students with the necessary knowledge and skills for effective communication and patient care, while also promoting an attitude of respect and understanding towards cultural diversity. It emphasizes that cultural differences can give rise to healthcare inequalities and encourages the consideration of cultural diversity with respect and empathy. |
| Course Content: | This course examines health disparities among different cultures, addressing the reasons for variations in health outcomes and strategies to reduce these inequalities. It provides students with cultural sensitivity training to enhance their skills in effectively communicating with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds. The course also covers topics such as access to healthcare services for immigrant populations, the health issues specific to immigrant communities, and the development of healthcare policies tailored to these groups. Furthermore, it explores the interaction between traditional medical practices in different cultures and modern medicine, equipping students with the ability to understand and integrate various treatment methods. Emphasizing the richness of cultural diversity, the course encourages the respectful and empathetic handling of cultural differences. These content components aim to equip students with the ability to work in the healthcare field more sensitively, knowledgeably, and effectively. |
