PSCID 1385: Self-Management in the Face of Different

The elective focuses on self-management during communication with patients diagnosed with disease states that limit their physical or mental abilities (e.g., stroke, paraplegia, quadriplegia, autism, physical deformity, learning disabilities). Implicit bias evaluation, as well as skill set development to facilitate self-management (compassion and empathy) will be emphasized. Expert panel presentations, mini-lectures and in-class activities. Student acknowledgement of personal deficits and bias may help to prevent healthcare inequities for these populations in the future.
