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!!
