Description:

The overall objective of this program is to enhance the ability of
physicians and other health care professionals, to address disparities
in the occurrence, management, and outcomes of cardiovascular,
pulmonary, hematological, and sleep disorders among various population
groups in the U.S. in a culturally sensitive manner. This academic
award provides support to medical institutions in the U.S. to develop
core curricula and other educational materials that will increase the
overall knowledge and skills of medical students, house staff, and
other professionals, including practicing physicians on the ethnic,
cultural, religious, socioeconomic, linguistic and other factors that
contribute to health disparities, and on culturally competent
approaches to mitigating these disparities.
