The purpose of this course is to increase understanding of how health care relates to the concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

We will consider diversity in its broadest meaning. However, our focus will be exploring diversity in culture, race, ethnicity, gender, ability, socioeconomics, sexual orientation, and immigration, with special attention paid to the impact on local communities. During this exploration, community strengths and capacity to promote positive change will be presented. The goals of this course are to increase our appreciation of and advocacy for DEI in health care. Learning activities will support skill development to interact in an inclusive manner with a variety of individuals and groups.
