Needs Statement

Failure to understand and manage social and cultural differences may have significant health consequences for minority groups in particular.

Target Audience

Physicans and Pharmacists

Objectives

1. Define Good Medicine as a cultural concept.
2. Recognize how the healthcare provider becomes a part of the patient’s life experience.
3. Describe the varying roles of health care providers in different cultural contexts.
