Crucial information for us as healthcare practitioners. Knowing the context and history under which we function makes it possible to truly work on healing whole human beings. Without this social/cultural context, we are not fully able to respond to and serve the communities under our care. We dont live in a vacuum, and this course helps fill in the gaps of what has been long hidden from our view and education. Should be required learning in our schooling.
