Health Disparities

Enrich education through clinical experiences and independent learning in the areas of health disparity. Students will study historical and topical details of barriers for the medically underserved and investigate cross-cultural issues in health care while blending theoretical and practical learning. They will identify and evaluate disparities in health care, learn about challenges to medical practice with medically needy populations; act as an advocate to eliminate health disparities in part by legislative lobbying, and reflect upon relevant clinical experiences throughout the four years of medical school.
