Welcome to the Hispanic
Health Pathway!
The Hispanic Health Pathway (HHP) is sponsored by the Office of
Multiculatural
Affairs and the Center for Cultural Proficiency in Medical Education
(CC-PriME), and David Acosta, M.D., Associate Dean for Multicultural
Affairs, serves as the Director.
The
goal of the HHP is to provide a number of
educational
opportunities and experiences to
medical
students that will better prepare them to provide cultural-responsive
care for the Hispanic population.
The HHP will provide a number of different
teaching
methods: didactics,
modules on-line, problem-based learning
experiences,
small group discussions, and mentoring opportunities with Hispanic
faculty
or non-Hispanic faculty who have an expertise in providing
cultural-responsive
care to Hispanics. Elective clerkship
rotations in clinic sites
throughout
WWAMI that specifically care for a large Hispanic population will also
be available for students to participate in. The HHP will
provide
the students a number of options to learn
or
improve
their
Spanish-speaking
skills: on-line Spanish language classes;
Spanish
language course provided by local community colleges and the UW;
on-line tutorials; and immersion
experiences in Central America. Those students who have completed all
of the HHP requirements will be awarded a Certificate of Completion at
graduation and will be recognized by the Dean of the School of
Medicine
of their accomplishment.
