| (2 cr.) This course explores how cultural belief systems
and values in a multicultural society relate to
the provision of appropriate health
care/counseling. Students become familiarized with
the biological and psychological attributes
contributing to sexual expression as well as
societal values that shape perception and
expression. Factors associated with communicating
with and caring for individuals from different
cultures, opposite genders or differing sexual
preference are explored. Lab sessions help
students gain experience and develop confidence in
approaching patients through preclinical
clerkships. Students improve their clinical skills
in the areas of eliciting a history, performing a
physical exam, presenting an oral report and
medical documentation via the patient chart note.
