The
purpose of the course Exploring Medicine is to promote understanding of
the cultural background of the people of Honduras and how that impacts
the delivery of medical care. Throughout the semester, topics were
discussed to facilitate understanding of how art, history, literature,
music, geography, ethics and religion influence the practice of medicine
in the Latin American culture. The classes provides a multidisciplinary
faculty from Duke and UNC and included time working on medical Spanish
to improve the understanding of the culture and facilitate encounters
and interactions with Hispanic patients in our own environment. The trip
focuses on areas of rural Honduras and provides global outreach through
Duke Global Medicine. Join in following us during out trip!!
