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.
