HADM 3304 Health Care Communication- eMajor Only

There is a growing awareness that communication not only affects but is inextricably
linked with issues of health and medicine. This is true on a personal level in the way
patients and caregivers interact in the examination and hospital room. It is also true on an
organizational level in that policies and community relations affect the way health care is
provided and the way people feel about providers. It is also evident in media campaigns
that seek to educate people about health. Consequently, this course is intended for those
interested in the Health Industry and those with a research interest in Health
Communication including caregivers, public relations professionals, media planners and
producers, public health promoters, marketing professionals, educators, human resources
personnel, health care administrators, researchers, educators and others. The course
explores the diverse perspectives of people involved in health communication by
presenting cultural ideas about health, stimulating discussions of ethical issues and
examining the role that race, age, ability, language, sexual orientation, to mention a few,
play in health communication
