Language and cultural barriers can impede a patient's access to health care, or a provider's ability to administer it. These barriers can also increase the risk of health-related problems and medical errors. Wilmington University's certificate program that focuses on Hispanic culture and health care complements your nursing and/or health sciences education with coursework that helps you deliver quality care to a growing sector of the patient population.
Our undergraduate Hispanic Culture certificate program offers specialized studies of the ethnicity's customs, beliefs, and barriers to health care, as well as instruction in practical and health-care-oriented Spanish language. These insights and immersion into cultural diversity in the health care arena enable you to better serve your patient populations.
This overview of cultural issues in health care, offered 100% online, cultivates a holistic approach to patient care for providers in a range of positions and employment settings, including nurses, health care providers, medical assistants, pharmacy technicians, and speech and language pathologists.
