chronicconic Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hi everyone, I hope you are preparing well for your MMIs. I am doing lots of readings on medical ethics, professionalism, and our healthcare system (which I realize now that I know absolutely nothing about), but I can't find any sources for reading up on cultural awareness. Does anybody have some recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBronto2019 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I wouldn't force it too much. I heard UofA has a question about Aboriginals but the whole point is that you take their culture into account when making your decisions. Look up Aboriginal cultural beliefs or Aboriginal health care. Personally, I love learning about different cultures so I wanted to learn about as many as I could. Maybe if a question suggests immigrants or being in a foreign country, it may help to add into your response the importance of being culturally sensitive and how you may exemplify that.

chacha12 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'd also check out the CMAJ series, they have great articles about Aboriginal-specific health care and other cultures like Protestant, Hindu etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
