About this activity

This course has been created to offer relevant, succinct, and evidence-based information for you (and your learners) in both classroom and clinical teaching settings.  The course is designed to be reviewed and engaged with in its entirety (as the earlier modules/lessons lay the foundation for the strategies and tips that follow and promote an understanding and appreciation of how and why to use specific strategies and approaches). However, the information can also be used in a just-in-time manner for key strategies/tips as you need them and/or for reference on an ongoing basis.

Health disparities are an ongoing issue in the American healthcare system. These health disparities have effects on the health of the individual, health of the society as well as large effects on the economy. These health disparities often occur because there are systematic barriers that make accessing health care more difficult for some groups. This program will look at the social determinants of health and some of the ways that culture can affect health beliefs. In addition, this program introduces the concept of cultural competence as a process to improve patient interactions. The goal of this training is to expose the learner to these ideas and tools in order to prevent health disparities. This course is approved by the Oregon Health Authority’s Office of Equity and Inclusion as an educational training for all healthcare professionals.
