We will be analyzing case studies and examining how these issues play a role in research as well as medical care, and gain perspectives from professionals in both fields. We will talk about what it means to use cultural competency, how professionals have employed the use of ethics or cultural competency in their work, how it impacts you as a UW student, and how you can integrate these concepts to better collaborate with those around you, here and abroad, in an increasingly diverse world.
