Issues In Dysphagia Management: Diversity, Culture, & Ethics

Course overview

Diversity in healthcare goes far beyond a language barrier. It is about understanding the larger context of culture and diversity, why patients think the way they do, and why they might respond to dysphagia assessments and treatment options very differently from what we expect. This course will help you understand the impact of dysphagia on culturally and linguistically diverse populations and navigate ethical conflicts to provide culturally responsive care. Specific strategies, case examples, and resources will be presented to help prepare you to make meaningful connections with your diverse patients and achieve successful outcomes.
