University of Minnesota Distance Education - Fall Semester Course
Immigrant
Health Issues PA 5451
An on-line course for graduate students interested in Public
Policy, Education, Public Health, Nursing, Social Work, Pharmacy and related
fields. The course may be taken for 3 or 4 graduate credits (4 credits with a
final project; 3 credits without final project).
The demography of American communities is changing
dramatically, but many of our institutions have not kept pace with the needs of
new African, Asian, Eastern European and Latino residents. Health care and
social service providers used to treating European-origin families and some
Latino residents are suddenly seeing refugees from Somalia, Ethiopia, Laos,
Bosnia, Cambodia and the Sudan. In order to meet the needs of these new
residents, it is imperative for providers and policy makers to understand the
context and motives for immigration, as well as the characteristics and belief
systems of their clients.
