Part II: "Where Does the Medicine Go?"
This follow-up training will further explore the concepts developed in Part I: time orientation, group orientation, and communications styles. This session will also focus specifically on accessing medical care, with an activity focused on medication use that incorporates traditional medicines found in ethic markets in Utica.
The training will specifically cover:
1. Challenges when Accessing Care
2. Awareness for home care – bedding, bathroom, diet etc.
3. Traditional medicines or practices of migrant communities
4. Cultural Concepts: Personal Care Preferences, Religious Considerations, Pain Management etc.
*If you have not attended training from The Center before we highly recommend attending both Part 1 and Part 2 of this series.
