PUBH 6030 - Cultural Competency I (3)

This course focuses largely on the health/healing beliefs and practices of a wide-range of religious and cultural practices and communities found in the United States in a healing context dominated by secular western biomedicine. The course will begin by investigating biomedicine as a form of cultural healing with distinct fundamental principles and values. Students will also examine cultural traditions with a particular understanding of oneself, health and wholeness, illness and suffering, and healing and transformation which are expressed in distinct healing practices. Prerequisite(s): Admission to the MPH program or permission of an advisor for students using the course as an elective in other graduate disciplines.
