BIOL 5740 - Gender and Sexuality in Healthcare: Caring for ALL Patients

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

The goal of the course is to provide medical students with the knowledge needed to effectively and competently work with a growingly diverse patient (and colleague) population. Contemporary medical school curricula are lacking in the instruction and discussion of patients of all genders and sexualities. This elective will address this need. The course will consist of eight 2-hour sessions, with guest speakers lecturing for the first hour and small group discussion happening for the second hour. Students are required to keep a journal of their experiences as their final assignment for the class. The class will be graded S/NC.
