Humanity In Health
Educating future healthcare professionals about the need for cultural competence and the prevalence of disparities in healthcare.
When most students consider pursuing a career in the healthcare profession, subjects such as biology, chemistry, and human anatomy are at the forefront of their minds.
On the contrary, important topics such as patient background and disparities in healthcare take a backseat.
Our mission is to help future healthcare providers recognize the importance of cultural competence and become more conscious of the various disparities that plague the healthcare industry.
What is cultural competence?
There are many different patient backgrounds that a healthcare professional will encounter in their life. But how does the provider treat each patient while attending to the entire context of his or her unique situation? How do they know if a patient is at a risk for a disease based on their background? Start reading the Humanity In Health blog to learn more about this!
