HTHSCI 4CU3 - Cultural Competency in Health Sciences

3 unit(s)

Cultural competent practitioners can interpret and effectively act on the cultural context of an individual. Relationship building is key to cultural competence. Communications skills help us understand and manage each other’s expectations and attitudes and highlight each others’ strength using a wide range of individual and community resources. This course will use theoretical and practical exercises to build our cultural competency and examine how we can effectively act in professional health contexts.
