This course introduces students to the community dimensions of medicine in an effort to provide skills and insight that will expand their cultural competence as they move towards a career in healthcare. The curriculum is designed to integrate key principles of health and healthcare inequities with concrete experiences had while volunteering with local health service sites. Students will be challenged to reflect on individual, societal and institutional factors that contribute to their own health as well as their surrounding community. Through a cohort-wide project that consists of planning and managing a health symposium, students will have the opportunity to network with public health researchers and healthcare professionals.
