CO 455 - Culture and Health


Credit(s): 3
Culture includes the customs, beliefs, values, actions, language, and identities of a social group. These facets of culture are intricately tied to health behaviors, experiences, and outcomes. In this course, we will explore the ways that culture and health mutually influence each other. Through case studies, research and theory, and performance learning, we will (a) learn about a range of cultural approaches to health and illness, (b) evaluate the role of communication in the link between culture and health, and (c) develop a workshop to promote culturally competent care in health organizations.
