Reducing Health Disparities: A Culturally Sensitive Approach for Busy Primary Care Providers
Hours: 1.00
Multiple studies have established that both medical faculty and students tend to resist training in how culture might influence care and patient outcomes. With only limited time available during patient encounters, practicing physicians, especially primary care physicians perhaps more than any other group, need concrete competencies they can apply in their everyday work. Primary care physicians often report feeling overwhelmed with time constraints. As such, this course has been constructed to offer a clear, concise, straightforward, and practical approach to reducing health disparities within primary care settings. The course will empower you to put your best foot forward with the people you serve. You will learn to recognize your own biases that may be hindering patient outcomes, as well as improve your communications with all people served.
