EALN-1045Intercultural Competence for Health Professions
In this foundational course, students will build their intercultural competence, language, and communication skills for working as a health professional in the Canadian healthcare system. Students will broaden their understanding of diversity, assumptions, stereotypes, inequity, and the social determinants of health. Students will explore the role of intercultural competence for supporting patients and clients through examining current health topics, case studies, patient-centered care, collaborative practice, and professionalism. Students will apply critical thinking to articulate learning related to health inequities, intercultural competence, Indigenous experiences, and their role as a health professional in providing culturally safe care in the Canadian healthcare system.
