There will be a great elective next quarter called UCONJ 550 (Healthcare in Underserved Communities), SLN: 21495. The course will focus on understanding how we can be of service to underserved communities. In the course we will learn about the barriers specific communities face and what resources are available to help in the greater Seattle area.
Each week we will have guest speakers from the community talk about a broad range of topics including: human trafficking, homelessness, LGBTQI populations, refugee and immigrant healthcare issues, racial and ethnic health disparities, mental health, substance abuse, and rural healthcare. If any of these subjects interest you, please sign up for the course to learn more.
This is a one credit class with credit/no credit grading. The class meets on Tuesdays from 6:30-8:20pm. It is a great opportunity to explore healthcare related issues facing underserved populations. This is an interdisciplinary class and we encourage students from the schools of medicine, nursing, public health, pharmacy, social work, etc to participate in the course.
Please email uconj550@gmail.com with your name and the professional school/program you are in for an add code, or if you have any questions.
