Description:

Teaching cross cultural communication typically involves instruction in differences between groups. As part of this course in cross cultural communication, six specific underserved population groups are introduced to students as a cultural experience. Additionally, instruction is provided to sensitize students to their personal biases and prejudices through videotaped mock interviews. The combination of instruction and experience forms a paradigm for teaching cross cultural communication in a way that has personal and immediate impact on faculty members and students. The model, "Differences + Discomforts = Discoveries," inhibits factionalizing and promotes depth of knowledge about underserved groups as well as personal awareness of prejudicial feelings. As a result, students learn techniques to provide unbiased health care to these, and other, populations.
