Physical therapists often provide services to patients who are dealing with pathological conditions resulting in significant impairment, functional limitation, and disability. The pathology and its effects consequently impact the psychological and social state of not only the patient, but also the family members and caregivers. The intent of this course is to explore these issues in order to increase awareness, understanding, sensitivity, and respect when working with diverse patients, families, and caregivers, with the ultimate goal of providing culturally competent and compassionate care.
