Course release date: 1/6/2025

Course Overview

Today’s healthcare professionals are expected to provide patient-centered care in environments with diverse populations, races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. This course will provide the learner with the opportunity to gain insight and understanding of how a patient’s cultural background and identity can shape their health trajectory, pain management, disease management, and quality of life. Learners will be given specific examples of different cultural responses to pain relative to health-related situations and will complete the course with recognition that to deliver best care practices there must be a level of insight for the impact culture has on individual choice relative to health, as well as public health.
