Students in this course will explore issues of human diversity in the context of health and health equity. Through a medical humanities lens, we will examine questions such as: How do we experience and understand diversity? How does diversity shape systems that affect individuals, families, communities and society? Students will explore human diversity in domestic and global contexts while connecting the concept to health and the provision of care. Students will be introduced to cultural humility, culturally specific approaches to practice and frameworks for equity and empowerment through the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes derived from standard models of multicultural competence and from national and global initiatives.
