CCDS focuses on developing cross-cultural competencies, improving patient care, and providing individuals with comprehensive educational experiences to make KUMC a more diverse and integrated campus.

The goal of this program is to provide insight and to educate about the differences and/or discrepancies in our healthcare system, specifically with underprivileged/underserved groups. Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to attend as well as contribute to the conversation.

Previous speakers have presented on:

• “Religion and Healthcare”
• “Comparing Health Care Systems”
• “Working with an Interpreter”
• “To Serve or Not to Serve: Who is actually being served?”
• “Back to the Motherland: Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa) - A Story of Kidney Disease”

Future event dates and details can be found via the Office of International Programs.
