CM 889 - Race and Disparities in Health Care

Credit(s): 2.00

This course provides an overview of health disparities along racial and ethnic categories. Students learn how political, economic and social contexts shape health, access to health care, and the quality of care across racial and ethnic groups. This course also explores the socio-scientific processes that have privileged “innate” difference as explanations for inequality and marginalization; and examine ways in which “race” intersects with other categories of difference, such as gender, class, sexuality and religion to impact one’s health and one’s access to health care.
