Cross-Cultural Medicine: Healthcare for Native Americans in Michigan

Cross-Cultural Medicine: Healthcare for Native Americans in Michigan is organized by Michigan Academy of Family Physicians (MAFP).

Term of Approval is from 7/17/2024 to 7/17/2025

Description:
Native American communities, including those in urban and tribe areas of Michigan, have historically been marginalized and underserved in terms of medical care. During this presentation, we will provide an overview of the health status of these communities and discuss ways that family medicine physicians can address these disparities in a unique and integrated manner. One such approach is cross-cultural medicine. We will also explore how Family Medicine Physicians can make their practices more inclusive and respectful of the cultural and spiritual beliefs of their Native American patients.
