Cultural diversity is an important topic in all parts of our daily lives. As future medical providers it becomes especially important as we will be treating people of many varying backgrounds. Throughout this course, we are working towards a greater understanding of what cultural diversity is and how to make sure we as future providers will treat all of our patients with respect and understanding. My personal goal for this course are to better understand what different races have as their greatest health concerns, to gain fluency in what type of medical procedures are used in different cultures and learn what challenges different people face when looking for health care.
Amie,
ReplyDeleteI believe that it is a really strong aspect to know what races are affected by what greater concerns because with different ethnicities comes different structures and everyone's bodies respond differently. Knowing that it is better to have a jump on it and have a little better insight and from there you can diagnose it a little better. I too would like a better understanding of the cultures for the best possibility at treating my patients. I did like though how you want to see the challenges that others face because as looking at my goals I had not considered that as something I strive for and think that it could be beneficial and help out greatly in a long term career.
