Are you interested in learning more about health care and culture? Have you been thinking about the possibility of short-term study abroad?
We would like to announce two exciting course opportunities:
HINT-31200 Health Care and Culture is a two-credit course that will be offered on Wednesday afternoons from 4:00 to 5:50 p.m. in the spring semester. This course investigates the role of ethnicity, race, religion, and socioeconomic status in shaping the health-related beliefs and behaviors of individuals through readings and discussion. Prerequisite: junior standing, or permission of the instructor.
HINT-31300 Health Care and Culture: an International Field Experience is a one-credit summer short-term study-abroad experience. Students will travel with the instructor to the Dominican Republic to study sociocultural context in the delivery of health care and rehabilitation services in an international context. (The above photo is from past years' trips.) Prerequisite: HINT-31200, or permission of the instructor.
Please contact the occupational therapy department for more information: Carole Dennis at 274-1057 (cdennis@ithaca.edu) or
