General Description

This program provides an introduction to health disparities, cross cultural issues, principles of clinical medicine and skills for public health research and interventions. An overview of approaches to cultural definitions, public health issues and discussion of specific techniques for working with diverse populations in community settings is offered. Teaching methods consist of didactic sessions, experiential learning and student presentations. Included in the orientation is a tour of Hartford and introduction to clinical skills. For the tour, students explore Hartford neighborhoods to learn more about the history of Hartford, health issues facing Hartford residents and resources available. For the clinical skills portion, students receive background literature to prepare for a class on this subject followed by a practice session where students attempt to elicit a history from trained patient instructors. Both the patient instructors and faculty debrief and offer students feedback following the exercise.

For the remainder of the program, students divide their week between shadowing a community physician and spending time in a community organization. Both experiences are designed to help the students learn more about health disparities and strategies for addressing these issues. While at the community organization, the students learn about the clients served, health matters facing the community and services provided. Students also conduct a research project on a topic designed in collaboration with the community organization. During the program, students are required to prepare an abstract of their research project. At the end of the program, students present their research at a poster session held at UConn Health. Students, faculty and community members are invited to the poster presentation.

Learning Objectives

• To become familiar with the demographic influences on health care quality and effectiveness in the diagnosis and treatment of disease at an individual and community level.

• To be able to define the terms frequently used in cultural competency. • To become familiar with major areas of disparities that result in increased mortality and morbidity. • To become familiar with research methods and implement them in a project.
