Learning Outcomes:
- Students will be able to identify the cultural diversity and individual differences that characterize patients and populations, specifically in the epidemiology and pathophysiology of cardiovascular, pulmonary, metabolic, and other diseases.
- Students will be able to identify and reflect on cultural factors related to disease development and progression and ways these may impact treatment.
- Students will be able to identify multiple perspectives regarding health assessments and treatments, including exercise testing and prescription for special populations.
- Students will be able to recognize their own cultural biases regarding health assessments and treatments, including exercise testing and prescription for special populations.
- Students will be able to understand how to alter exercise testing and prescribe exercise for specific populations based on the pathophysiology and cultural background of the patient.
- Students will be able to evaluate culturally appropriate interactions, including verbal and non-verbal communication with patients for fitness assessment and exercise prescription.
- Students will be able to understand how and why regular exercise positively effects the physiology, pathophysiology, and disease prognosis in clinical populations and how cultural backgrounds may play a role in enacting regular exercise.
