Description
Dr. Hsieh will first introduce a foundational framework of culture, including the four perspectives--Magic Consciousness, Mythic Connection, Perspectival Thinking, and Integral Fusion, to examine social norms and clinical practices in health-related contexts. Using these cultural perspectives, we will explore how culture shapes individuals' health behaviors and decisions. By recognizing that physicians and patients are equally shaped by their cultural worldviews, we will examine how and why patients and providers may face unique challenges in the communicative process. We will examine how culture can create challenges in access, process, and outcomes of healthcare services and discuss scenarios in which individuals and institutions hold different or incompatible ethical views. Finally, we will identify strategies and cultural perspectives that can enhance the effectiveness and appropriateness of provider-patient communication and healthcare delivery.| Period | May 19 2023 |
